I went to pick the wife up at Wakefield WestGate station last night (off a 10:35 train) after a business trip to London, & I'd swear there were small piles of snow on the platform in places!!
(nothing in the rest of the citythough)

No it int. it's another myth. if you stacked cannon balls like that the first time the ship heeled over there'd be cannon balls rolling all over the gun deck.

I always though the phrase was from land based artillery, not from trade and war ships.

Bush Tucker Man:
Just come back, after a ride on the bike & came across a road-closure.
Two separate 'Road Traffics', due to ice, on a lane that's less than a mile long.
It's fairly exposed, but has a couple of quite sunken corners, almost like hollow-ways.
Needless to say I went the long way round
