Lovely cartoon in the paper the other week... policeman waves down a motorist on a highway...

'Best be turning back sur, you'll go no further on this road, a snowflake landed about 3 miles ahead!'

I took 2 hours to get home last night and tonight.... bloody ridiculous situations where they close one stop on the tube because of overcrowding, so people go to the next stop on and rather than walk back, go across the platform and wait for another train to a station that is still closed. Thus the stations either side of the original (Kings Cross in this case) get overcrowded and shut down, so the ones on the other side of that station get overcrowded.... see the picture here? Get past a certain point and there was no trouble at all, even though the snow was deeper.... And the sickening thing is, all the officials all ACT SO SURPRISED
