Well quite. The last thing you need to deal with at this time of year is a food.

I'm partial to a good mice-meat pie this time of year.

I like mice pies, especially if they are mad at home.

Our local council likes to make sure everyone is well-fed during cold weather - they've even sated the roads.

The pavemens round her are very lippy.

When road conditions are bad always give a lift to as many people as possible as you will then drive carfully.

Indeed! Should you do so though, it is best to ensure you have suds on your tyres - this will reduce any lip and minimise anger as much as is possible. Moreover, you will find your friends chucking as they ravel.
