I'm back at work now. Just had a few days off to have a play in the car. You're not kidding it was slippy. Most of the rain/standing water had gone but I had a few suprises from the mud on the roads.
Gallows lane never is 100% clear of mud, that next junction you came to, where it meets Leicester Road was terrible I had a job to control the diesel Corsa I was in, it just kept spining the wheels, your's must have been a hand full. John
