      When it rains the M25 grinds to a halt, imagine what snow could do!
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Vauxhall's extremely well-connected by bus, train and Underground. Where's the problem?

            The last time my tyres were near the legal limit and it snowed heavily, there was no way I was going to drive it any distance (and that was with 4WD). I got new tyres sharpish.

              I will decide tomorrow morning whether to go at all. All media report 20 cm snow to fall this night throughout Southern England.

              It might be impossible to get to London in the first place.

              And then event If I did , I will have to check the Tube Service updates before deciding to drive or tube to Vauxhall.

                    Tip: If your not using chains drop a few pounds from your tyres. When you do a cold engine start put press the clutch; that reduces the load in turning gears in neutral.

                      I live south of London and would never dream of driving to Vauxhall. Take the train/tube.

                      Where r u coming from?
