A fairly worrying day for a lot of people, quite apart from the weather:
there's more disquiet about the new EU drivers' hours rules;
it could be bad news if you work in a warehouse for Wincanton or NYK;
and it's definitely bad news if you work for fruit & veg wholesaler Hurst Parnell Westland.
On the other hand, David Miliband, everybody's favourite pipsqueak Environment Minister, has reassured us that the transport of 160,000 potentially bird flu-ridden dead turkeys is perfectly safe. So that's all right then.
And in similarly reassuring mode, French policemen have promised to protect British drivers. Pardon me while I splutter out my cafe au lait.
And finally... Will Shiers has unearthed a brewery wagon with a rather surprising good-luck charm.
