Yep, not my preferred parking space, but typical i get back to my gaff late sunday night and its the only one left :x
I knew it was going to snow so i didn't want to park there but looks as if everyone else had the same idea :evil:

Remember when my 406 got driven into about 2 years back? Guess where it was parked...... yep the same place as the Meg :roll:

Ive deleted the smashed 6 pics off my photobucket.

Take care Dai - I'd hate to think the next snowperson offering from the Rees household would be full-sized, completely realistic and posing next to a tripod and camera..... :shock:

I had one hell of a journey this morning at 06:00am - not gettng stuck but being ubber carefull with the steering :shock: at one point the back end decided it wanted to have a go at driving on a straight bit of road :?

I'm hoping the lorries will mash the snow up a bit today else I'll be sleeping here at my desk (no change there then).

There's a reason I was at work early this morning...

The car park makes for a great oval shaped skid pan. Don't worry, there's plenty of room at the far side to screw up, spin, and still be miles from those vans...

lots of 180 handbrake turns :cheesy:

Maybe not, but it's perfect for low speed sideways driving :D

Methinks we had proper snow too - about 6 - 8 inches, only just managed to shove the garage door open.
My usual 35 minute/30 mile journey took 65 miles / 3 hours, mainly due to the westbound A14 shut at J1, with tailback to J17 :shock:
Now I go the other way, but the tailback to get on the westbound stopped traffic going east 2 miles short of the A14 :x
Had to go via Peterborough in the end.

A couple of our blokes at work got stuck on the A14 today (jack-knife lorry).

Doggy I heard Peterboro' had bad snow.

I'm dreading the big freeze tonight with all this slush around :frown:
