Tickled to read that one of the fleet of gritters keeping Manchester streets clear is now officially called Gritter Thunberg.. ;D

Well, not from around here. Other than the main roads, gritters are but an illusion

Mike you seriously surprise me. I thought up there in the socialist republic of Scotland you would be far better equipped in this category (or any other) than England?

Gritters are out n about but they stick to the bus routes, and expect the public to follow. The farmers here my OH included, are the ones who clear all the side roads. If it wasn't for them there would be people who would not be able to get to the shops ect.

I image it's going to be the same in many rural areas.


We've escaped this freeze so far but last time we had one we could have done with some farmers here for what good the council are. If it freezes  here then things could become quite hazardous - people will be tripping over the piles of frozen leaves on the footpaths which haven't been swept up yet and if this year is anything like every predecessor I recall they'll still be there when I go back to the caravan even if that happy day gets put back as I expect it will.  
So long and thanks for all the fish
