I didn't say and didn't mean that Thames Water was late with the information on cold weather.  I suppose you realised that.  It is we British who are always seem to be surprised and whinge when our lives don't go to routine or plan.  How many people prepared and have been preparing their homes AND their wardrobes for a freeze?

When you have  perfected the art of snapping your fingers and magicking away all problems eg broken water mains, do let us know. 

At present it takes several different groups to work out what and where the problem is, where the services are and marking out the road for digging out with digger and by shovel, suck out soggy ground, mend pipe, backfill, tarmac, roll, re-paint white lines in mending both the pipe and the road.  And then there are all the road signs and council notifications.  Quite a lot of sequenced scheduling and activity and I've probably missed some out. 

The works that upset and inconvenience your trip will just be one of those needing assessment as to severity, urgency and work!  It is much worse for anyone whose home or business has been flooded.

Strangely both heavy traffic and extremes in temperature cause damage to the roads.
