Snow, Transport and the Lack of...
Anyone else having 'fun' with this? Took me 3 hours to do a three-mile car journey yesterday. Now, looking out my window there's thick ice all over the place (not to mention the snow!)
Do I:
-Chance public transport (heard of fights on SE trains station!)
-Chance walking (and risk leg breaks / knee dislocation (which I'm prone to) right before Christmas).
-Go back to bed
-Wait until 8:58 and clamber over the rooftops to the local 'Spoons. ( )

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.

Its shite around here, council have done fuck all to the roads really, 1 pass of the gritter on the main roads once a day, and that is it, so unless you are only on the road for that hour after they have gritted then your pretty much fucked, it really is lethal, can't even dare to use the brake pedal as all you do is slide, plus with this thing being very light, and rear wheel drive, i have got stuck places loads of times as it tries to move, but the limited slip diff kicks in and locks the axle, so it then spins both back wheels together, digs a hole and buries itself.
They have not been treating any of the pavements in the town centres here either, and three OAP's fell over yesterday outside shops and now get to spend christmas in hospitial with a broken hip each.
I know its cold and shitty and generally not nice weather to be outside, but the council have really done a piss poor job with the state of the roads this year in my eyes, and as for not treating any pavements in a busy town centre 4 days before christmas, that just aint fucking good enough.
