About 2" of snow in Shropshire and the whole place has ground to a halt. Virtually all the schools are closed, roads are blocked due to people who cant drive slithering about of a mixture of bald Nanjistu and Futatoo tyres.

FFS, we had sh1t loads more than this 30 years ago and nothing stopped then. We all got to school, people got to work. The drama made out of this little flurry is just a joke.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

It's utter balls the fact the country grinds to a halt as soon as there's flakes in the air. As you rightly said chuff, countries with proper snow laugh at us. I have work at 3, work is 4 miles away, and I have already had a 2 people telling me to not bother going to work because the roads are dangerous and everything will be blocked off....Instead they want me to drive 20 miles to pick them up so I can bring them over to the new forest. Frigging joke I said!

crock of sh!te, ive never been stuck in snow. actually thats a lie, once going up a hill thats about 200 metres long at about 45degree slope, i got 90% of the way up then pushed a bit too hard on the accelorator, started to spin the wheels, stoped and then started again and got the whole way up, then a mile down the road stoped, hooked up a tow rope and towed a girl cause she couldnt drive.

some people are f**king idiots, last year i saw someone trying to reverse out of a car parking bay next to me, his wheels were spinning so he started flooring it and couldnt understand how i got out so easy  :rolleyes:

imo dvla should make people learn to drive for a year and in all conditions like in some countries, then people might understand that there f**king idiots

My mate got the MK4 stuck on a frozen grass bank yesterday. After nearly crashing through a garage as it's on a steep angle just warmed the tyres up til they were smoking he laid on the bonnet and I just drove it up.

Window cleaning done. Time to pull the head off a Punto. Too many people are wimps! Put your hands in ice cold water for as long as you can bare and then they'll warm up.

Where all my moneys went.
