Loiseau Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yeah; I'm due to fly to France next Tuesday, and was getting a bit worried about the snow that's forecast in UK. But I just had an email from Air France to say there are going to be spasmodic strikes between 6 & 9, so it sounds even MORE likely my trip may not happen as planned!I hope you are not flying!Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shovels are in the car....[/quote]Never fear, Coops, I did a 320ml round trip on Sunday without a hint of problem from Dorset to London, when the country was said to be in the Grip of whitestuff and all the roads were completely clear (snow to left of me, snow to the right) if anything the journey was all the better for the lack of traffic. Hopefully it will be just as clear on Fri on my journey to Tunbridge Wells[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 [:D]In fact it bends enough for me to drive but not to get between the average row of seats in a theatre. Arrived safely yesterday after a steady, uneventful drive across northern France. The only dodgy bit was getting out of our drive.Managed to down 4 pints of Master Brew in good company yesterday evening in front of a roaring fire. One of the few things I miss.[B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]We could have bumped again but for your date with Colonel Sanders [Www]No problem getting home listening to the new CD, except for the biddy's doing 40 in a 60 limit; isn't it annoying how the BMW's sit on the crown wondering about their rear wheel drive grip, until you overtake the line and then they are on a god given mission to thrash past you; we came back via the coast and lovely it was too.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and have you noticed that they who do 40 mph in 60 limits do so in 30 limits also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
