London in meltdown once again

Sweetpotato Chips

Some one please explain why north london seems to have gone into complete meltdown. What is wrong with the world where it's snows for 5 minutes and 15 lorrys all jacknife across all the main roads blocking all the carriageways and then the rescue services can't get through cos every w@@ker and his wife is blocking the way with their blooming BMW. Ok rant over !!! Someone help my hubbie get home :-(

Well we had snow on Thursday night and not a flake since Friday morning but the bloody trains still can't run within half an hour of their supposed times. Buses were running again by Friday afternoon but the f*cking trains - which let's face it run on straightish, no other traffic tracks just like Scalextric vehicles so how hard can it bloody be to drive one? - still can't get it together four days later. Completely useless.

lol, i made the mistake of going out on Saturday (just after it started snowing) the roads were chaos, i only wanted to go to the supermarket

A 15 min journey took my 3 hours! I've now vowed never to go out again in the snow or December.. i'll be shopping online from now on, the delivery charge is cheaper than the petrol i wasted!

Took me more than four hours to get out of Harlow on the A414 (west), because all the minor roads were blocked by snow and ice, so everyone had to use the main routes. Although to be fair the first two and a half were me waiting in the office for the gridlock to clear. Were there accidents on the M11 side of town?

I barely made it in today and I'm not bothering tomorrow.

I was checking the traffic as he was trying to navigate round. I dont think there was a single main road that didn't have some sort of incident on it..How do these people manage to pass their tests.

I think it should be made mandatory that idiot drivers should be made to take a driving test every 12months.

Every year this seems to happen without fail and the bloodiy trains are as useless.

STAY HOME EVERYONE !!! its just not worth it LOL

Yeah thats happening everywhere in London..They have this ability of being able to open grocery stores next door to one another on the high street and still make a living..!! Its quiet amazing really..I mean how much falafel can one community consume.

Essex aint any better! Green Lane just on your way to Ilford has around 12-15 take-away places on ONE road !!! Chicken, Chinese, Indian and more chicken !!

Is there some secret that we dont know about ?
