We braved the Arctic wastes to fetch our turkey from Alison today! And darn fine it looks too! A delicious Christmas dinner is now guaranteed.  |

The courier couldn't guarentee the boxes would get delivered, once they were out of his hands, and into the other companies that do the national delivery. |

Fair enough, I suppose - better than taking them and them not reaching their destinations . But crummy for you and your customers. I'm sorry, Alison, it's horrible to have all your plans knocked out like this . |

To be fair, we live on a mainish road as does Alison. I was chatting to a courier delivering to my neighbour this morning and he was saying there were lots of the villages he couldn't get to. He was about to park up and carry a parcel by hand round to one one the roads still too icy.
My Mum is still snowed in. |

We are, too. I could get the car out down the drive, but there's no way I could get it back up; if I have to go out then it'll be an emergency. |
