Or is it too cold?

I'm in Surrey so pretty blinking mild and my garden is very, very wet (clay soil?) they have it for sale at the garden centre so I was thinking it would be ok now?

Dont know as Ive never done it,but would be a bit worried that freezing winter conditions may still round the corner?

Yeah I think I would leave it for a month or so.  Grass is pretty dormant at the mo and probably wont root as well as it could..
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

In theory you can lay turf any time but in practice it's better to avoid hot and dry or cold and wet/ frosty. I'd wait till March if I were you.

Like early bedding... if the weather turns against you and it dies you buy some more...  :-X
