What would you say to someone who proposed collecting a 7.5 tonne
removal van later this afternoon, loading it and then driving overnight
from a part of Godalming can become impassable in snow to Hastings.

Presumably rest of his family and usual car to be moved as well. He had
just bought several large bags of salt.

He has to move house, said he'd been too busy to discover until just
now that it's going to snow. A raised eyebrow and 'best of luck' seemed
somehow inadequate.

When I was aged three, we moved house on the day ofd the famous
snowstorm of 29th March, 1952, from Cranleigh to Effingham, some 20
miles away. By some miracle, I understand that we completed the move
successfully, though unfortunately I was too young to have reatined any
memories of it./
