    Had about 3 inches in West London - Thank goodness for ABS brakes

      I always wondered, are ABS sensitive enough for snow? When it's icy is it OK to just slam on the brakes and let ABS do the job, or can you get greater sensitivity manually?

        Loads of snow, would have been early in this morning if it wasn’t for fuc£ing lorries and particularly for a 38 tonner tacking short cut that was too steep and numinous one skidding over to the wrong side of the road. Only contractors turned up at client co. No permies today.

              No snowfall overnight and the measly amount that has fallen 2 days ago is starting to melt.

                ABS is downright dangerous in the snow or on ice. You should really stay off the brakes altogether, or do it as lightly as possible to avoid the ABS cutting in and making things worse.

                      In a case of perfect timing, we are supposed to be travelling to Krakow tomorrow morning and flying through Gatwick which has been closed until 6am tomorrow (flight at 8:30) so the chances of that happeing are none.

                      I could fly from Liverpool but that would mean writing off the cost of the hotel booked at Gatwick and the 1st class return my wife is using to get down from Manchester and would mean a hotel booking in Liverpool and a drive up there from London, parking for the weekend and a drive back down on Sunday.

                      Or we could hope for the best and stay near Gatwick and get a refund on the flights if it all gets cancelled. Unfortunately the £160 I've spent with Hotels.com is non refundable, so would have to look at getting a refund via my travel insurance, but i think the excess on that is probably going to account for most of it!

                      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                      I preferred version 1!
