Next week!
Us down south get a, quote, 'severe wind meteorological event' in the next 48 hours :shock:

Followed by possible cold snap starting at the weekend - hold tight, there might be snow yet! Good job too, I was wondering where winter had got to :?

Travel chaos in central London as its battered by adverse weather.

1cm of snow has brought Lonon to a standstill. Worst hit are the Chelsea ladies 4x4 club, scared to travel incase the get their Gucci shoes wet.

No, the 4x4 girls and boys are loving it - it gives them a sense of justification for their pointless, fuel guzzling, expensive, vulgar monstrosities. If only the stupid fleshers had thought to clean the snow off their windows before driving... :roll: :yearght:
