There was just a bit of snow in London today. But listening to the radio and TV it would seem we had a raging blizzard.
Whatever is wrong with us Southern softees? A bit of snow and they get their knickers in a twist.
Southern fannies :grin:
Yummy! :grin:

Just managed to get home after a few problems with other drivers not being able to get up a hill and blocking the road.

Did a 5 point turn (a problem for many of the other cars in the snow) and took a short detour up another less busy hill.

No bother.

Most others couldn't even turn in the road. The 4WDs were OK and I think a few others had winter tyres.
The beemer drivers were all stuck scratching their heads. :laugh:

My Pharmacist, whom I know quite well, has a new BMW 335d 4door Sport. He was all over the place even at 0.5 mph! Was sliding uncontrollably forward and nearly hit the car in front whilst trying to park. I was standing beside the car and saw the front wheels slipping away. Quite bizarre.

Next you'll be telling us it was an Auto. :grin:

It's amazing to think these excellent cars come from Bavaria where it is very cold every year. :huh:
