5 hour journey home

[marky4]

Took me nearly 5 hours to drive 12 miles home tonight (what a fo#king journey)

got in at 8 o'clock tonight the snow and roads were a nightmare iether blocked solid with traffic or you got stuck in the snow, had to dig myself out acouple of times

poxy fwd van was useless how no one hit me or me not hitting anyone else or any curbs was a miracle

to make matters worse as it got later the melted snow on the roads turned into sheet ice

AND NOT A F#CKING GRITTER LORRY INSIGHT

Emergency centres
In Basingstoke in Hampshire, 2,000 vehicles ground to a halt on Monday, leaving about 3,000 people stranded, Hampshire Constabulary said.



Five emergency rest centres were set up in the Basingstoke area for those who could not get home.
Thousands of motorists and passengers were also stuck in Berkshire and south Oxfordshire.
Many spent the night in freezing conditions after roads in the counties became gridlocked on Monday afternoon.
South Central Ambulance, which covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire, said there had been a 70% increase in calls.
There were also long delays on the M4, the M3 and the M40, to the north and west of London.
The AA said Monday was its busiest day in 10 years with its own patrols getting stuck.
