  1. Our Lexus, superb in all other situations is absolutely hopeless in snow or ice! I had a harrowing experience a few years ago with a sudden snowfall on a Friday evening - no gritters as snow unexpected and just on the rush hour. Yes, your life really does flash before you when facing a steep downward hill and, potentially, the grim reaper! Glad to say, I lived to tell the tale and, at times, long for my previous cars - Fiestas (three) and Minis (three) with front wheel drive and superb handling under all kinds of conditions!
  2. Similar here in Staffs - approx 4inches. The birds are emptying their feeders quicker than I can refill them! Good to be able to hibernate for a few days!
  3. I sent this to a friend who is a retired RAF Officer and he was delighted!
  4. I wasn't informed that we needed some new electrical appliances before we left home. DDolfelin One can never have enough of those! We're in the process of clearing 30 years' worth of accumulated junk from our loft, including various irons, toasters, food mixers, kettles,etc., none of which actually work - perhaps they were kept for the plugs!! Ironically, my iron has packed up and, if the forecast snow materialises overnight, I won't make it to Tesco tomorrow for a new one!
  5. Would you recommend living in France?
