    Gritting

    Heathrow didn't have too many problems, at least one runway was operating the majority of the time, they were only both closed at the same time for a 30 minute period during heavy snow which effected visibility... not much they can do about that.

    Gritting

    Indeed, they're pretty sh!te. We had snow Sunday night through most of Monday, and some more snow last night. In-between the snow has melted and frozen to solid ice. Not a single road or pavement round here has been gritted in that time, it's like a bloody ice-rink (with exception of outside the...

    Snow - excuses to take the day off?

    Nope, but I've seen quite a few 4x4's stuck because the muppets don't know how to drive them.

    "don't travel unless your journey is essential"

    Indeed, similar to what I mumbled at the guy at the station "shandy swigging southern poofters" when he told me all the trains were cancelled because of a bit of snow. When I was living up north I used to goto work in 2ft of snow with no bother, but down here everything stops. Central London...

    petrol

    He's referring to the particulate matter, not co2 emissions. Look up DPM or DEP on wikipedia or something ;) Edit: here we go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_particulate_matter

    "don't travel unless your journey is essential"

    Whilst on the subject of crap drivers - what's with people using their fog lights today? It's snow on the ground, not fog... how thick are these people...

    Snow pictures! (picture heavy)

    We've had snow pretty much all night since 19:00 yesterday, and there's still a bit coming down. More heavy snowfall forecast for this afternoon and this evening. Last measured in the front garden at just over 7" deep.

    "don't travel unless your journey is essential"

    Work isn't an essential journey, that's why I'm sat at home with a nice cup of tea!

    Digital TV aerials

    At my last house, we had a 15yr old (or more) antenna in the loft which worked fine with freeview... "digital antennas" are just a marketing game.

    Cold house

    Does your floor have a void under it? If so, make sure there's no gaps between your floor boards and skirting boards. Our place never seemed to get warm, after a bit of investigation I found that there was a lot of cold air blowing between the floor boards and skirting from the vented...

    Thin uPVC trim

    Thanks guys... Did have a look in Wickes but as usual in our local one, most stuff is out of stock, I'll try them again or a different branch. Not near a MrPlastic, I'm across the other side of London. :( I did think about tiling it, probably will in the future, but I didn't fit the...

    Thin uPVC trim

    I've recently fitted a new window in my bathroom, and there's a small gap on the inside between the edge of the window frame and the tiles. I'm looking for some thin (say 1-2mm) white uPVC trim approx 30mm wide and around 2m in length to bond to the frame/tiles to cover this gap, similar to...
