0823 2O71 Bristol to Dorchester West, altered to terminate at Castle Cary. RTT» then shows a 5O71 running thence to Dorchester. Route proving before reopening perhaps?

A friend works for Tesco says they haven’t had any deliveries since Wednesday. Apparently their south west distribution centre is in South Wales under 7-8ft of snow and can’t get lorries out.
Our biggest issue was being busier than any single day at Christmas, and not having room for staff to be on the shop floor replenishing amongst the customers. We’ve had a steady flow of deliveries today,
Talking to my Tesco friend he says A lot of their customers aren’t considering the distribution issues when complaining about poor availability.
Having seen the empty shelves in several Swindon supermarkets yesterday, I was fearing the worst ahead of my Tesco delivery this morning - but at 9.15 sharp he turned up with my complete order of 67 items less three Mars Bars. Very impressed. Oh and it was £1.09 cheaper than it would have been at Aldi, Sainsbury's or Morrisons. Every little helps. |

I was at Sainsburys this morning, around here the shelves have been kept pretty well stocked throughout but today it seemed to be the first "busy" day since the "Great 48 hours of wintry weather 2018" and to watch them grabbing everything on sight you would have thought that people had been kept in a cage and fed on bread & water for the last month. |

Sounds like Christmas Eve - the way people go through the shops on that day like locusts you'd think the supermarkets were going to be shut for weeks!!

Makes a change from snow... Alterations to services between Newton Abbot and Exmouth
Due to overcrowding because of a rugby match between Newton Abbot and Exmouth fewer trains are able to run on some lines.
Train services running to and from these stations may be revised. Disruption is expected until 19:00 04/03. Exeter Chiefs' match postponed yesterday has been re-arranged for today (so I guess you could still blame the snow!) |

No Mars Bars? How will you cope?! You should have stockpiled before the weather set in.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Also. For Sale: Snow shovel. Nearly new, barely used. Buyer collect? Not with those steps you posted the other day. Need a Stannah stairlift. |

There’s some cows in a field 1/2 mile away, how hard can it be? |
