Re the East Mids weather - my daughter (a nursing sister) in Lincoln today took 5 hours to get to work at LCH, having to abandon her little Pug 208 & walk, only to find she was stuck on an endless shift as there were no more staff to take over from her. All 4 uphill roads blocked! Useless highways, police. Hospitals can’t cope. Bleedin shambles! Trying to call military out!

I hope she has signed a contract for no responsibilities due to errors of over work as the UK is suing medical workers left right & centre. It is possibly legally safer for her own interest that she unfortunately has a accident on site & unfortunately cannot work. Failing that, she better document in her diary every bit of work she has to do to cover her bum so the State does not strike her off, and avoid a criminal record for no fault of her own! You have serious problems in the UK in regards to this issue. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Looks like it will be a few days before I'm going anywhere, with a steep hill covered in more than a foot of snow between me and the road. (Prior experience shows that the limit on the hill for an FL2 on winter tyres is somewhere between 4" and 12".) There's now 5" on the car itself despite it being parked under cover!

Got my mad mate in Huddersfield asking if I want to go out walking. Left it with him to get to mine and we can take it from there, we shall see.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

You now have a conservatree.

look on the bright side no one died.

.

Steel frame for the bifold doors probably helped. Proper box section girders. The presence of a bunch of guys and big forklift on farm demolishing some old grain drying plant definitely helped the speedy solution. I got a lift in my forklift to chainsaw the branch at the tree end. While they hoisted the rest up and away
bonus logs too At work

The Council have put out request for 4x4 owners to volunteer to get nurses and other essential workers to there work as all the roads in the area are deep in snow, unfortunately mine has to stay garages till I get my licence back
