So, I'm at at work trying to figure out how I'm getting home!

I live in Liverpool, but work in Northwich. M6 Thewall closed, traffic diverted through Warrington which is now at total gridlock! Runcorn bridge closed, as are several roads around Runcorn. M56 closed, M53 closed for the one small section I need, and now the bloody A41 due to a tree!

I have about 5 routes to go home, and none are viable! Looks like I'll be camping out under me desk for the night lol.

Hope you lot are fairing better

Dodging flying sh*te here, tree blown over just missed my car. It's also shredded my car cover. Going out regularly to remove stuff off it like bins, small animals, grannies etc.

A mate of mine went out to his Audi estate this morning. Popped the tailgate, the wind took it, broke the gas strut and folded his tailgate over the roof. Was a real shame, as he was supposed to be coming to my house to sort out my wireless network for the PC. Bummer!!!!

Shame about the Audi too huh????

Yes tell me about it Scooby I nearly got stuck in it. Lucky I was listening to the radio and not my usual MP3's so I had a detour round the coast instead.
