NO salt left at work now, we got 3 pallets delivered in mid october, which is 168 bags, it sold very slowly back then, but since friday we have sold 144 25kg bags of the stuff, and now it's all gone, i tried to re-order it, but there are massive backorders for it and i cant get any back in stock until mid february.
Brilliant.

The trains were fine today. An improvised service, but nothing that I am not used to. They all ended up leaving at the same time past the hour, except there was an hourly service not half hourly. If you get what I mean. I normally catch the 23 minutes past, and that was still there. But the 53 minutes past wasn't.
Plenty of other routes were cancelled or delayed for an hour plus so I will count myself lucky

Yeah, I had to laugh at the "posher" cars getting stuck in the terribly deep two-inch snow drifts. Both me and my mate have had no problems with our Passats.

Bought another one on a 57 plate from up near Skipton. These cars are top value for the money, much better than a poxy Vactra anyway.ob wrote:You not sharing with benji anymore then?

Wouldn't people sue the council for not doing enough then?sir ratholer wrote:The reason why pavements are not gritted is this:-
If the council's grit pavements, and someone falls, they can be sued for not doing their job properly.
If they don't, and someone falls, it's an act of God and no-one is liable.
Sick, but true.
Well, I guess the council will have more to fall back on if they don't grit the roads such as "You weren't careful, live with it" etc
