Anyone from Hailsham in East Sussex here?
Just want to know what the snow is like there. I have an item sitting in the DHL office there waiting to be delivered and they are claiming the snow is too bad for their drivers which I find a poor excuse for such a major delivery company.
Is it really that bad that you can't drive on the main roads?

It would not shock me to discover if it's due to some Health and Safety thing. Some spotty twonk quoting rules and regulations from a clipboard and not allowing the drivers out.
Or they are simply just lazy buggers.

Steve they were claiming Heathfield was impassable even if they had got out of Hailsham which the delivery driver would have to go through to deliver where i've asked the item to be delivered to.
I don't believe them as the snow down here is no worse than the other week and no where near as bad as up North yet one of the biggest delivery companies are claiming they can't deliver. Pathetic. More like the drivers are skiving off at home and can't be ar$ed to turn up citing the snows too bad.

Roads are now terribly icy around the area. I can't see how (today i.e. after last night's freeze) they could get towards Heathfield now. Hardly any roads have been gritted cos they appear to be running out of grit at the local depot. Sorry for the bad news.

Cheers for the update. I called DHL this morning and they confirmed they attempted delivery but couldn't get past Heathfield as it was just too icy. I wasn't happy but not a lot I could about it. They said unlikely to be able to deliver until next week now which is just ridiculous.

Given the state of roads in this area after it all froze, I no longer think it's ridiculous. The roads are just sheet ice and no sign of grit. I have a bus stuck outside our house now as it can't get any traction to pull away.
