Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Not as far as I know. With a default phpBB install, you could use Tapatalk, but AIUI, SnowHeads has been customised enough that it isn't supported under TapaTalk any more

My android came with an HTML4/5 app built in. Added a better one. Both work fine Wink Funnily enough the HTML4/5 apps on my PC seem to work with exactly the same server side code too, which must save some dev effort. common web standards ftw Smile Wink

Completely off topic, but what's St Neots like as a place to live? Was thinking of moving to Cambridge but house prices are so high there...

xyzpaul, I like it. Biggest town in the county (Peterborough and Cambridge are cities) but still has a market town feel about it. Reasonably thriving high street, lots of parks and open areas both along the river and in town. New cinema due to open in a couple of weeks along with restaurants and whatnot. Railway station is on the East Coast main line so it's faster than the trains from Cambridge as it's got a 120mph limit to the Cambridge line 80mph limit. Kings Cross can be had in under 40 minutes if you get an expresss and trains run till 0130 so you can still get home from a night out in London if you so wish. Market on the square every Thursday (and I believe it's been that way since the 1200s), and a farmer's market once a month on a saturday. Decent sports center with pool and well equipped gym and lots of cycle trails and paths around the town.

I rented in Cambridge for a year before buying here for exactly the same reason, that the prices in Cambridge are so high. 20 minute drive to Cambridge, or get the X5 bus which takes a little longer.

Generally, of all the towns in the area, I think it's the nicest.

feef, cheers - good to get your opinion as a local! Do you know what the commute to the business parks north of Cambridge is like?

Not too bad. Cowley road and thereabouts? The A14 is the main route to the north of Cambridge, but also the weak link when there's an accident or roadworks causing it to get snarled up. From here you can miss out most of it taking the A428 and join down by Madingley, so you're only on the A14 for the last couple of miles.

If St. Neots doesn't fit the bill for some reason, I'd look at the villages around the North of Cambridge as from most of them you would be able to very easily cycle to the business parks and prices are a bit lower than in Cambridge itself. E.g. pick anywhere along the (mis) guided busway and you've got a great cycle route. Bike is by far the quickest and cheapest way to get around here. The A14 does seem to be a road with daily problems, so if you can avoid it I would.

xyzpaul, I suspect lovely Peterborough is even cheaper than St Neots. Pboro isn't too bad a place to reside in the off season. WAYyyyyyy cheaper than Cambridge and better train link to Kings Cross though a season pass is a tad expensive. The drive to Cambridge is 40mins on a clear run, A14 is the snag point, but I found last year when I travelled that way a bit pre 7:15 on A14 seemed to miss the worst of the traffic. Around 250K will get a decent 4 bed detached in a okay area, there are plenty above that on the market, with say an executive study (cupboard) that seems to add 50-100K to a house. The MIL is looking at moving at the moment from a 3 year old 2-bed en suite, apartment in good area valued at £125 and getting a 2 bedroom terrace for same or less in okay areas. There are areas not to move to around Pboro, like anywhere I guess.

And back on topic an iPhone or Android app, ha ha ha ha ha. The website is still stuck somewhere in the 90s, be nice if the site actually rendered as a bit usable on a smartphone. But yes it's pretty poor nowadays not to support the mobile platform as I suspect a lot of traffic comes from mobiles or would. I do access via smartphone but it's really not a pleasant experience navigating around.

Keep heading north until you find some hills, we'll even have a decent train service to London by 2030 maybe! wink

Think that was designed in the days of WAP sites...

I used to live in St Neots too. It has the remarkable (in my experience) characteristic of all the businesses being named incredibly clearly, eg. if you want a motorbike you go to the St Neots Motorcycles; coffee machine for the office go and see the St Neots Coffee Co; an haircut go to The Barbers Shop (ladies can visit The Beauty Room). Doesn't seem weird reading it but have a walk around.
