Sorry for you mate ; all that work and expense, hope you can recover from it, best wishes.

Cheers mate.
A lot of graft and expense but it is what it is

Units behind that Mill.
280 apartments were only finished in there last year and all have been evacuated. All the cars were underwater.

I saw it on the news and it looked grim. Best wishes.

If they've not got salt n sand for gritting, then they're unlikely to have some top layer road covering for longer term safety. How close to the 50% mark is the country in terms of bankrupt councils?
Hope it doesn't snow again, it'll compact on top of the ice cover already. Glad the cold will kill off so many invading species of insect, a thorough deep frost backs off all sorts of wasps and hornets and the like, but it'd have been more helpful during the holiday when everyone wasn't needing travel for school and work.

It is or was the oil capital.
Should be gold plated roads...
Seriously, I know budgetary confinement of councils are tight,but we all pay enough road tax.
I know it's doesn't go on the roads,it's just another government fund.

Just wait till fuel duty is down so significantly that they have to champion a job well done cutting carbon and having clean air - thus introducing a clean air tax. You breath it you pay!

Massive 2 inch snow fall in Brighton
The whole place has come to a grinding halt !
Absolute carnage on all roads
I ducked into a pub to bide me time
Went past at least 12 abandoned buses on way home
It’s almost like they didn’t see it coming ffs

My cousin Tess lives in Aberdeen, sent pics to my dad last week of a load of snow and a -5° temp.

Just had 1hrs rain, put 35mm in my pool



In the big freeze of 1962-63 it snowed iirc the day after Boxing Day, then froze solid until mid March, my school never closed, I never missed a day and had to get from Garston to Shaw St...87 & 46...still wearing short trousers (and a blazer and big coat obvs)

Just sayin like.

This weather has truly started my 2025 off worse than Everton.....moved into a new business unit/warehouse in Stockport in June, spent 6 months and a fair amount of £'s getting it ship-shape. Massive floods as seen on Sky TV etc between NYE and NYD have completely destroyed all my stock, fixtures and fittings, tools, equipment the whole shebang!
4 years of graft on my own business gone in less than 24hrs. Spent that last week trying to slowly clear away tonnes of sludge brought in by the flood and dry things out but no power and the rain, snow and freezing temperatures are making it damn difficult.. The water hit like a tsunami and rested at around 10ft covering the roller shutter doors and filling the unit. Will be at least 2-3 months before I can get operational again.
Gutted is an understatement.
Good job I like a challenge.

Best of luck getting yourself sorted out mate, that’s some crappy luck you’ve had there.

Hope you make a real success of it - massive respect for anyone who starts up and tries to be their own boss.
