Not that there is any snow down south at the moment, but you can't order heating oil. I despair - 1 week of snow, the water mains burst everywhere and the country runs out of heating oil.
Current:
911-50 Black - unique spec
X5M - 575 hp of fun in a V8
Abarth 595 Comp.
Golf Clipper - collectors item
Z4 3.0si Black Sapphire
VW ID.3

Previous:
Z4M Silver Grey - non flimper spec (gone to Bing)
Z4 3.0 Toledo

My pictures were taken just south of Salisbury. However we're now in the news for different things than the weather. Funnily my wife and I were going to eat at Zizzi's on Sunday! :o

Much ado about nothing.. I'm telling you - Hitler missed a trick back in the day, could have saved all his bombs and just dropped 12" of snow, would have had the same effect!

I work for the local water company and yes there have been burst mains, but the vast majority of no water calls I have dealt with in the cold snap is due to poor pipe insulation in properties. This cold snap has really shown how bad some home owners/builders/plumbers have left pipes exposed to the elements. A real eye opener :thumbsdown:
