Yup, I remember all too well getting my mortar board knocked off - thanks, Mez! We are coming up this weekend - should I be bringing skis, etc?

As for it taking us by surprise, going back one weekend the train to Preston was 20 minutes late. When we asked why, and why it was going so slowly, the guard told us it was because of the rain! - possibly wrong type - the trains slipped on the rails. THIS IS LANCASHIRE!!! - IT RAINS!! - A LOT!! It was never like this when we were kids, there was plenty of snow then, but everybody cleared their own paths and put ashes down, AND the roads were gritted.
