Heres hoping you have got dry feet today Robert.
Yes, lovely day here today, bit windy and a little showery but nothing to get excited about. It rained a bit yesterday. Created a bit of chaos, have to drive to Lancaster tomorrow so I will probably see some of the aftermath. The A590 and the M6 were closed several times yesterday and overnight due to flooding and accidents.
Speaking to a lorry driver buddy who was on the M6 yesterday, a BMW driver flew past his truck and maybe thinking he could walk on water, hit a flooded patch, aquaplaned and proceed to spin into the central reservation, resulting in my mate having to wait two and a half hours for the resulting mess to be cleared before he could deliver his load of stone. Modern cars are too insular, way too smooth and comfortable, drivers seem to think they are invincible. Then, suddenly the laws of physics take over, Bang!
