Only took an hour to get home from Mansfield, normally takes 30 mins and full credit to the boss he kicked us out just right so I got home just as the light faded and it started to snow heavy again.
My commiserations to all you poor sods with rear-drive and no traction control, I suppose all that niceness in the summer isn't worth bugger all on the one day it's like this. Loads of Lexus's (Lexii?), Bimmers and Mercs abandoned by the side of the road on anything that resembles a gradient.
Followed a 116 for about a mile that was actually crabbing along at about 10mph wheelspinning like mad with it's arse-end trying to make a break for the hedge while the laydee driving it was doing her best Markku Alen impression. I and about 5 others behind me overtook her in the end as it was too painful to watch and she looked absolutely terrified. Bless.
