Severe weather warning
A highways agency warning said anyone travelling in severe icy conditions should take a decent sized shovel, blankets, sleeping bag, extra clothing, including a scarf, thick warm hat, thick warm gloves, A 24 hour supply of food and drink, de-icer, rock salt, torch, tow rope, knife, petrol can, first aid kit and jump leads. I must have looked a right prat on the bus this morning with all that gear on. I could hardly tweet with the gloves
