Sounds as though your knob is the only original bit left

Well done Eric.

Should be a law for everyone that’s able to clear front of their property, which just leaves main roads for gritters to sort out.

Obviously there will be problems in certain areas but most should be passable if some get of their backsides instead of moaning about they can’t get off their road.

Clear outside ours for a tosser to park there instead of his own drive, I’m calm ;D

It'll be great when they start putting motors in these replacement joints. Arthritis is a b@stard of a thing. Good look with them ops.

The main road should be fine (will be problems on other roads though) but some are having blizzards which obviously will blow across the roads, just needs extra care which some drivers don’t know the meaning

Hope everything goes ok for you mum Frog

Brilliant Cayton, I'd forgotten about those linkys.

It's looking not too bad with all 3 lanes open :D

Loads of flights cancelled from East Midland including my mothers :blue:

Good to see people still go out and clear front of their property...

Not.

Well I might go and build a white rabbit in between paperwork

You could put 1000s more gritters on the roads and it wouldnt change anything, the problem is tyres. Its not worth investing in winter tyres in this country, as they do abroad,because we only get weather like this for about a week over the year.

Also the standard of driving is shocking, going to slow is just as bad as going too fast, but the muppets sh1t themselves at the first sign of snow.

Ryanair have cancelled all flights from many airports today.

Great service given to us.though. When we got through they reschedualed the flights at no extra costs no messing.

I go through that many sets of tyres so I put winter tyres on this time of year, I've not got a spare set of wheels. They're not just for snow you get better breaking when the temperatures are below 8 degrees and I've not noticed any worse breaking when the temperatures are above that. If I had a car for pleasure purposes etc... I'd have them on all the time because they're the same rubber compound as all weather tyres and they're not any more expensive.

But none of this stops idiots stoping in the middle of hills for no reason.
