I've been watching it too
Snow here this morning but it all melted in the sun by the afternoon3 -
Where my Mum is it was just a smattering but really deep where Sis is so she did not go to Mum's in the morning. Waited until afternoon and then took Mum's shopping over because there is ice forecast today. She is in Killie, and Mum is East Ayrshire too so a bit west of youI think. Please consider carefully before going out. I know Mum offered to host it for one friend who needed to get out (as she pranged her car this week and was dwelling on it) - make sure you stay warm and safeSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

I love to listening to any strong accents, they fascinate me. Half my work team are based in Scotland and I love hearing them speak at team meetings. I used to work with a lady with a very strong Scottish accent, so strong that another Scottish colleague couldn't understand her. Because I spent a lot of time working with her, I was the designated office interpreter, if anyone wanted to ask her anything they sent me! Mr SA always knew when I'd been chatting to her as I would come home and start saying 'aye' instead of yes 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Hi beanie
I haven't watched Traces - but honestly, if you look, there's always good tv programmes around; you have to work at it, but they're very good in general.
And hey, you cashed out on You Gov! Well done you!2023: the year I get to buy a car3
