its snow joke the AA grumpy column

6" here in sussex. My Boiler's not giving me any heating only hot water so I'm wrapped up warm and putting off turning on the fan heater and convector....never mind....a 'very nice man' is coming out tomorrow am to fix things...hopefully.
Been a lot of disruption but better for planes to be grounded than have accidents.

Most of the population don't know how to drive in icy conditions....result...disaster.

I guess more people commute further nowadays therefore teachers etc can't get in to work. I experienced some bad weather in the 60's but everyone was able to get to school / work because they lived within walking distance.

You poor thing. I have builders due in Thursday. They are ripping out all the central heating and the boiler (although that's no way to talk bout Mr O's mum).
Do we cancel????
We will be without heat and hot water for two days. I've waited a year for this work.

We still got 5 inches nad the builders have just finished. Last night and all today, we had no hot water or heat but they loaned us sme convector heaters for the night. They have done a brilliant job so i can't complain. I nearly had to kill one and bury him under the floor-boards when he let slip that he goes fox hunting. Then, he was good looking in a disturbing galbally type way, so i let him go.
