The pair also chat about terrifying roundabouts in Oxford, getting lost in central London, surprise congestion-related fines, and the challenges of driving among bikes, buses and tiny street signs.Along the way, they share winter prep tips, laugh about Christmas card chaos, passport mishaps, and the annual tradition of forgetting children’s festive photos until the last minute.If you enjoy UK weather updates, flooding and cold-snap analysis, real-life travel mishaps, and the warm, funny chemistry between two Weather fanatics who know their stuff, this is the episode for you.
