It's crazy really, the other day I realised that the councils grit bus routes first (and normally only bus routes) and it struck me that these people aren't usually the type of people that need to go to work and keep the country running, they're OAP's, Students and single mums with 20 kids. I think they should grit the commuting roads and not bus routes.

Just thought I'd say. :lol:

So Dan, the trick is to live along a bus route :smilewinkgrin: or opposite a newly built firestation 😀

Yeah - but also the tilers customers roads need doing as well. 🙂 So they need to live on bus routes or by fire stations.

My lady's works have had a ton of grit delivered and they're going to keep topping it up. They've told staff they can have a bag or two for their road/path/garden to try and help them all get into work.

IMO they need snow ploughs to shift it all and not just gritters. We're waaaaay behind the times when it comes to handling snow and every year it's the same mad rush trying to get the roads cleaned. 'They' said it's too unpredictable every year in the UK to handle perfectly. But that's rubbish as you can guarantee every year we're not prepared at all, so we need to get prepared in August and really get ready for sudden cold snaps.

What a crazy day.......... serious snow here today, and had to use the van as it had all the tiles and addy in it for the job, but no probs with the winter tyres. Only one to turn up, which let me get on a treat.
A few pick of the day.
