it is meant to snow even more on Thursday, and it is meant to stay for a while, But can the UK cope with more snow?

I know i don't want it back because every where comes to a full stop.

What do you think of even more snow? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Snow is a pain anyway as it means a lack of Golf. It is compounded when Local authorities don't look after the Roads/Pavements properly, the state they were in during the last downfall was nothing short of disgraceful.

It's a pain in the arse, my couriers at work are normally great 99.9% of deliveries next day always, but due to the snow at the start of the month I'm still 8 boxes missing

I think it's laughable that we can't handle snow, total chaos

Don't make me laugh! I am still spending my days digging snow and ice two and a half weeks from the first fall. Yesterday I had to dig the car out again and today there was a slight thaw so I thought I would shift some before the weather gets colder at the end of the week. :mad:

According to dpd the central hub had artic lorrys queuing all day just to clear the Scottish backlog as the lorries have only just got there, Dpd London south have 16k of backup'd parcels from last week

It's due to hit here later this afternoon and you can really feel the temperature dropping at the moment. On the plus side our local Govt. have decided it is alright for us to clear the snow away from the footpaths outside our homes.

Apparently though I can still be held responsible if I don't do a good enough job of it.
Bloody idiots! :mad:

Thats why I eventually had to cancel all of my Amazon orders as they were all being dispatched from the warehouse in Scotland and their backlog is massive and more snow is only going to make it worse.

if it helps my nice new mizzy wedges arrived yesturday but they were stock fitment from direct-golf.

It still amazes me that the courier / road network is fooked after the amount of notice we had. Our local depo of DPD is offering £250 a day to anyone with a van to deliver parcels. The have a 16000 parcel backlog and alot of parcels are now being stored outside in trailers overnight as they cannot get any more in the warehouse.
