We had snow and as usual Rossendale Council only partially gritted. It great fun driving a bus on ice! a 40ft fully automatic, rear wheel drive vehicle lol
no snow here but bloody icey,got worse when the sun kindly changed it from white to black as i found out whilst sliding my van straight through a junction.oops!
I love the way people blame the council for not gritting roads.
Drive to the conditions. Its Winter there may be a chance of Ice and on the odd occasion Snow. Its slippy
I say give us more as its more fun for me. If we gritted every single road we'd still be gritting in summer. Only main roads and selected side roads are done where i grit. Cul-de-sacs are not essential to keep traffic moving. Also alot of roads are to small to get an 18 tonne gritting truck down them. Still get grief off motorists though,like its our fault that 1/it snowed and 2/people can't drive to the conditions.
Same as normal though,a little bit of snow and the country goes into panic.
No don't take the truck home,they all get loaded up in the yard ready for us to go out. How does the snow plough driver get to work? We get there by...........................................................Its a secret.
here in Tenbury Wells we were treated to some of tc's icy little balls, I had to pick them up and examine them closely, bizarre little things they were !
Well, I have had no complaints....
Seriously though, I had them in my hands and was examining them too - they were the weirdest things, weren't they?
*cough*
Could be expecting more snow tomorrow in parts of the country. Don't forget to blame the gritters for the bad conditions. Also shake your fist when your car gets gritted as you overtake.
just got home and my friends were right - over a foot of snow at my house in Holland. And it's going to be... wait for it...
-16 degrees celcius tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
