Probably about 4.5 ft at the lights and about 6ft on the field by the seat.

Makes my journey to work about 20 mins longer!


4.5ft at lights? The sign says 1.5ft.



The concretet that hold that sign in out the ground so about a foot above the ground but it's also on the up ramp on the bridge where the sign is. Hard to really see but trust me. It's deep. A lorry was stuck on Friday in it and it was well into the cab.

If that's 4.5ft high then those lamp posts are fucking massive, and the traffic lights way beyond regulation height,

So I'm calling BS

Got back from Saudi on thursday night, taxi driver had to ford his car on my lane to get me home.
I switched a load of clothes around and came straight back out to stay at the womans place in Yeovil, couldn't get back into my place until lastnight.

No pics, been dark every time I've tried. Lane flood just got too deep to risk it.

Call bullshit if you want but as I said the concrete that holds the marker in the ground is out of the floor. That's a huge chunk of concrete. And probs 12" deep.

As robin says it dips from the bridge down then up again. The walk way is about high in the air over the road. Plus I'm not measuring to the inch here so a guess is as good as its gona get!

It looks to me like the road dips down, by the lights. The depth gauge is further up the road.

Nothing like that round here but a fair few puddles and dips filling up. Been ploughing the Alfa through everything as per dad has been saying the back roads in Chippenham are bad.

The traffic that all the shut routes has created is the main problem. I am having to do a big de tour to work but would only be about 15mins extra but its taken about 40mins extra. I hate traffic.

amber because of a bit of frost madness.

this is what happens when a country becomes a nanny state. no-one can think for themselves and just becomes a pupil, being told by the government when they can and can't drive or go out of the house.

Forecast high of 1c here tomorrow, it's been raining tonight which will have washed the salt away.

I might risk my life and go out in a 2wd car tomorrow with no winter tyres and no snow chains, possibly even tyres with less than 3mm tread.
