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.

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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.

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

Had some here for a while now

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.

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...

You mean the "This site may harm your computer" problem? http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-site-may-harm-your-computer-on.html

Nope, ground floor 3 bedroom flat in a large victorian house conversion :)

We've just had our 6 month energy bill (we only get one every 6 months), and for gas and electricity combined it's only £318...

Aleksandr has been working hard on a new TV ad, look out for it real soon - you'll like it ;)

What wattage of lights are you trying to switch? http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=37966

Yes thanks.

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...

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...

Yup, quite a fair chunk with a good bonus.
