In Twickenham , on 3rd Cross Road .
It's a Varta ( the one in there now is labelled MB Varta )
They did a cheaper no name one for £60 , but i figured probably best to put a good one on .

Meet up
Which makes me think, have we ever had a Bracknell and West London meet up at any point, which I may have missed ?
Could be an idea for the spring.
Howard, just moved the E55 (which may morph into a 320 with 488 at some point) and it managed with the snow very well. It was only the 20 yards to move it off the road, but it did well. The car moving at idle speed is perfect.

There are fairly regular meetings at MB World (Weybridge) and Bushy Park (near Teddington/Kingston).
I am logged on and working ... there's just not much going on today!
Also logged on and working. Finally managed to dig the merc out of the drive - it's now on the road, hopefully all set for me to cruise (very slowly) off into the dawn tomorrow.
Took the offspring into the woods along to High Curley this morning - much toboganning fun, and the first real snowball fight for years. Have to say the snow was perfect for that - balled up nicely, held together well in flight and disintegrated very satisfyingly on impact. Junior PXW (aged 10) came back glowing and soaked through. Mrs PXW less keen on being snowballed. We (junior and I) agreed it was not fair to pelt her. But a couple of high strikes into the heavily laden trees over her head were very effective

I'm surprised you made it Ollie!
What did you use? A ton of grit and / or a block and tackle? That slope is steep enough in the wet
Speed.
I just went for it.
I had to grit the whole slope!

Just a bad hair day
Got back home, walked back the same way - more snow, lots of slush and some drunken idiots have made their own road block outside a pub...
Never seen so many impressive snowmen - clearly a lot of off work Dads.
