What do you think, chaps? Are we going to get from London to Portsmouth
and back by car on New Year's Eve without recourse to the shovels? We
need to make a hideously early start to get there by 11am, so presumably
will be watching out for ice. The BBC/Met forecasts say it will all be
well above freezing by then, but some of you don't seem that hopeful
(for certain values of hopeful, of course!)
