There were no buses from Finsbury Park station last night, so I had to walk home up Crouch Hill
I passed a very large number of Mercedes, Audis, BMWs and the like all sitting with their wheels spinning on the compacted snow and ice, only to be eventually abandoned by their drivers...

Though my *real* laugh out loud moment came when I saw the former driver of one such car struggling along with his wife and (I think) mother-in-law. Unsuited to the slippery conditions, he took one step, slipped straight over on his arse, and dropped his baby. It was in one of those big plastic car carrier seat/cot things, so it just bounced a couple of times before starting to wail, but I doubt he'll be allowed to forget "That Christmas when you dropped the baby" for a long, long time.

Finsbury Park was a joke last night
My missus left work at 5:30 and didn't get home until 8:45. She gave up on the bus at Camden and walked.

I got the tube which took 20 mins as per usual. She wasn't impressed. Don't envy you Crouch Hill at all.

I too gave up at Camden.
I then sat on a bus for about 40 minutes, and still didn't get to Archway. Gave up AGAIN, and walked. Nightmare.

We managed to get home
But once, there, my husband put the handbrake on, got out of the car, and then watched it slowly glide off downhill...
