Got to my first job at 7.30 this morning. Tried to leave at 9.30. Not a prayer. Left my van on site and walked home(7 miles!!). Its mad round here in mansfield. So many knobs getting in the way. If you could get a clear run you'd get anywhere ish but idiots try the most crazy things and fook it up for those of us with half an idea. Deffo having 4wd on my next van!

Medders, you cheeky bugger. My missus is a teacher, she set off this morning at 6.45 with 3 kids in the car and managed to not get out of the village. Took her an hour and a half to get no-where and end up having to turn back and come home !

Her school (bradford) was open but closed early due to more teachers than pupils turning up !

Lazy teachers, I think not. Lazy kids and parents....yes.

Landy would have being good today, but only for today !
Also, you still have to queue behind everyone who doesn't have 4wd. Doesn't matter how good you 'landy' is, you still go nowhere when it's gridlocked

HMMM! Today, a week before Xmas, all over Xmas cause the snow never disappeared in Burnley, good when I went up to Croft last saturday to watch the rallying in the snow, we are only one week into 2010 and still Jan and Feb to go!

Traffic not too bad here as no one is venturing out! I don't queue, I 've been towing them out.

Great fun!!

Landy wouldn't have helped here. Only road out of town blocked by an overturned lorry and no way round.

To be fair I set off to drive to London in my works car, Audi A4 at 7.00am, got a quarter of a mile, scared myself by nearly driving into a pub wall, turned round and went home.

I heard on the radio this morning that the M60 was blocked due to three artics jacknifing so decided I could work from home instead of pranging the car.

Work from home = typing stuff on here!

That's it half an inch of snow and everyone's snowed in... What a bunch of WIMPS

On my way down to France I was doing 60 on more snow than that.

i was in alfreton when it started snowing and had to get to langwith, it's about 17 miles, it took me 4 hours, mainly cos of the idiots in mansfield.

why do boy racers give it full throtle and then wonder why the wheels are spinning and they are going nowhere.

i drive a carlton and have had no trouble, the only time i went sideways is when i wanted to, rear wheel drive in the snow is fun

I'm pissed off I didn't get to Croft for the rally.

And the whole man-made global warming thing is the biggest pile of bollocks ever conceived.

Snowing more here now
