    Could get busy near the M40 junction, if people are still trying to get on it, as the M40 is snafued:
    M40 Buckinghamshire, northbound between M25 [M40 junction 1A] and A361 [M40 junction 11]
    M40 Buckinghamshire - Severe delays on M40 northbound between J1a, M25 (Buckinghamshire) and J11, A361 (Banbury, Oxfordshire), because of snow.

    Severe
    And then on the M23 near Gatwick:
    M23 West Sussex, northbound at M23 [M23 junction 9]
    M23 West Sussex - One lane blocked on M23 northbound at J9, M23 (Gatwick Airport), because of a broken down vehicle.

    Medium

    I'd never thought I'd say this:

    "Hurrah for driving on the M25".

    My sons friend wasn't particularly close to it at the time and so was unable to do anything.

    wtf is wrong with people ?

    At least they drove off with the sledge only, but sorry to hear that anyway.

    The Channel Islands.

    The Isle of Man.

    Scotland.

    The West Indies.

    When agents say "And where would your ideal contract be located?", that's the list I give.
