Sorry sunshine.. i dint mean to blaspheme at you .. i love u really .. i want u to hang around alot wiv me this year.. ....but cant u just go hide behind some clouds till they let me go home...pleeeeese ..
Isnt that what you call wishful thinking Karey?? lol We have a right mixture here snow and sun and every so often more snow bit confused my end have no idea what the weather is doing
Ric - just drive your lorry in reverse...
Not wanting to put Ric out of a job but I reckon every vehicle should have those rotating chain-thingies that fire engines have fitted underneath... (sort of like a spinning clothes line with chain flails - pretty cool piece of kit!). I am sure the Govt will subsidise retrofitment...
I use snow clamps - nothing keeps me away from a decent day on the slopes!!
TC,got to get to it first!! Fitting snow thingies to the underside of your car is ok till it churns up the road. Then more tarmacing will need to be done. Which means more tarmac down the drains which then means more work for me. Haha. Its really quite simple,they should phone up places like Canada and Switzerland and ask them how they cope.
lol @ TC.. yehh but Ric,, true... also i guess you gotta get to the gritter in the first place too !?! ok.. nxt time it snows..get yr bosses out with packets of salt and clear the way to the gritters for u ...
Just out of interest, Ric - when you drive to work for the first gritting shift of the day, are you covered on the companies insurance for your private vehicle?
hmmm Stella... mi boss just been in ..and sed "its brightening up now" so i teld her its forecast more snow..and she just grunted ! and went out agen! Fkn hell!! shes let some go home but not others,...not fair!!!!
Flipping Hec after reading these threads and imagining TeeCee's 3" its warmed up round here. A sure way to clear the snow look out for the floods now LOL.... Aww I gotta go to work now till 23:45 all you lucky peeps at home or halfway through the working day think ofCG and me hard at it.
hey TM - come spring/summer you're gonna have the FFS girls pootling your way to have our revenge on you ...granted it may be winter 2009 by the time we get there, but get there we will!!!
Yes, some of us are still at work, because when it snows on us the country doesn't grind to a halt and we don't suddenly forget how to ride, though it pleases others to forget even the basics of driving.
So that'll be me heading home around 6pm, in the dark and the cold, to go skating along all the roads that the council can't be arsed to grit.
