All's well, I'm back home now :-)

Good news. If anythign I thought today was more difficult driving than
when it snowing. The partial melt and re-freeze made driving awkward and
they seem to have run out of salt so the A32 was like a skating rink. It
didn't stop someone tailgating me all the way home though.

IKWYM Was it a woman?

No, oddly enough it was a bloke. He looked like Jack Straw.

They are notorious for tail gating. They don't do
it intentionally.

Sadly true, but when in the passenger seat my wife claims that if I get
closer than 800 metres to the car in front I'm driving too close.

Does Hampshire know what salt/grit spreading is done for? Southsea coast
road was virtually a sheet of ice. Now that surprised me.

Apparently they ran out of salt. They are making all sorts of excuses,
but "we're a useless bunch of jobsworths", the real reason, hasn't
featured yet.
