wish the snow was like that over ehre i think we have a light inch of snow :lol:

in answer to your question, and its one i have asked my self before and you should ask your self it is.

are you willing to poss smash your car up just to get into work? beareing in mind that work will not give a toss about your car nor pay for it.

my answer was always no, and thus it didnt move.
as i have a company van now, i will drive it in anything :lol: :lol:

as jay said if i had a company van or a s**t run about then i would drive to work.... ( thats if i could get out my road 13 inches deep ere)

but i can't get the beemer out and an't gonna risk sliding into something...

snow is nice to look at but its a Bic™ trying to do anything when Britain is never prepared for it even when they know its coming ???

There was no snow when I woke up at 6.30, and only a dusting when I left for work at 7.30.

However I'm now at work and it's still falling, I'd better not get trapped here :(

Its about 6 inches here, not looking forward to the journey to work at 6pm :(

I am doing nightshift and i bet all the people who are meant to start when i am due to go can't get in because of the snow and i get stuck there and have to stay for a few hours more :x

Going to work was fun today :) I'm only about 2 miles from work and I drove along an un gritted road. went round one corner and the arse went out, but I was going nice and slow. Got to the work carpark and a dab of the handbrake saw me park in style :p

JAmes.
