hi,could anyone gives a bit info regardng this please?
is it snow/traffic delays,or anything like that?
i was to hop a flight to birmingham and go to peterborough,but the old guy that was to pick me up says theres bad snow round about him,with accidents and snow on the A 14 which is the way he was going to travel to lift me.
would anyone know if thats correct?
ive cancelled my flight now anyway,but was just wondering how much of a panic merchant the old boy is being. thanks in advance.
cheers bud.
i dont think its looking absolutely desperate,but the old guy is a carer for his misses and i dont think he wants to chance getting stuck,so fair enough…i got enough warning in time to get out of bed,make a cuppa,and get back into bed. £50 quid for a flight down the pan isnt going to be a life changing scenario… 
Its not that bad but A14 being shut between A1 and M6 in both directions isn’t helping anything.
Well I’ve been out this mornings, major roads are just slushy, estate rds, deeper slush,
So by the time you’ve got your crock’s.and trackey on, with your soap and toothbrush in your lidl bag, ready to fly, all be gone and fine, unless your going to fly in full tang dress(well it’s Christmas) make the effort.
Basically no problems.

its not me thats the prob,i was just wanting conformation the old dude wasnt telling me porkies.
him and his daughter are carers for his misses and he is flogging me the van due to his and her ill health.
he lives outside p/bro where he said there was 4 inch of snow and i think he just read the early morn reports of delays and bottled it.
i was meant to be lifting a van full of conversion kit from blackburn and the guy there says its all clear as a bell,so thanks to all for the replies.
AND…
once again,im originaly from glasgow,and just live over here in tangland.
we dont use lidl bags as if we did nobody would recognize us and asume we were taliban.
theres no point in tanging it up for the flight,as it takes too long to remove and replace the obligatory gold belcher chains,lodge pennies,sovereign rings,earring studs and the like,plus if you go for the full spec steel toecap super hamptons then you always have to roll around on the floor of the security hall taking them off and putting them on again,and apart from giving everyone a free cabaret act,its embarrassing to be showing off the holes in your socks plus the obligatory 6 inches of ■■■ crack from the boot cut levis that always seem to sit just that little bit low.
there is always the added inconvenience of having to buy another supersize can of lynx immediately coming off the plane as they only have those tiddly wee ones in the airport.
seeing as how any self respecting tang will also be immersed in more than 100ml of lynx at all times,it also leads to greif from the overzealous security as they sometimes want to count that as fluid being on the plane,even though its not in a can…
thank you for the replies anyway troops…
Trouble is DD it ■■■■■■ down with rain all evening yesterday across the midlands (probably elsewhere, dunno don’t watch telly), which gradually became snow around 10pm to Midnight, so all the bloody salt put down earlier has been washed away, and little time for decent gritting.
A14 seems to have been shut most of the day according to Google Traffic map, probably the bloody big dipper westbound and that long climb just before the A50 (yes the real A50 before they ■■■■■■ about renumbering roads) westbound, so no i don’t reckon the old feller was overegging the pudding.
cheers.i know probably same as for most on here,then if i woke up there this morning,then you would just crack on and get on with it,but it looks like that area is definately bad enough.
just hard to believe that mancs areas are perfect same as over here.
we usually get the north of englands weather 2 days early,or 2 days late,so no doubt the usual descriptions of whiteout,carnage,chaos ect will be on the telly over here at the weekend,( ive not bought a newspaper these last 30 years nor watched live tv for about 15 years now so il just assume ) and thatl be nice time for me to have to do 200 miles to lift my misses from dublin airport in a 320 rwd merc with fat alloys. no dount keeping her straight sideways for most of the journey…

Snap 
, i wish others would try this, removing the sources of bought and paid for propaganda leaves you to breathe and think for yourself again.
Couple of slabs in the boot (or a row of Jerries for cheap juice 
) you’ll be fine in that Merc.
if your ever cleanng out the attic or somewhere and find a newspaper from 20 or 30 years ago,then apart from a few exceptions,its all the same if you just swap the stuff around.
iran,iraq,afghanistan,libia…its just all the same mince revamped.
its all the same local convictions,and assaults,and just basically drivvle.
the newspapers must have block sentences always to hand,and just fill in the fine tuning.
someone is always outraged,prozzys are always plying their sordid trade,and all the rest of it.
the sad part is,that the general public lemmings tend to believe whats fed to them…

Lol…
Eejit. 
i think ive used the word ‘eejit’ in the correct context
A14 had major delays between kettering & M6 + M1 was supposed to be shut between 19 & 20 which didn’t help matters. reports was saying it was gridlocked in the area
eejit
NOUN
Irish, Scottish
