Yup Quiff been like that here since last saturday!

I've forgotten what postmen look like and the ice is lethal - the car took an almighty band yesterday after i want a closer look at the kerb after sliding down a hill.

It lethal!

We've not had mail for two week until today... the whole estate has 4" thick ice on it which will be here for weeks.

Has turned a lot milder here and over the course of the day the ice has melted. However I could have done with heeding your advice this morning as I stepped outside to my car and managed a short rendition of Torville and Dean`s Bolero before landing ungraciously on my ****!!!
