Because if they fell over they would sue the bollox out of them

Because it would be paying them FAR below the national minimum wage, and hence, illegal.

Mad555 i don't know about your way but I aint seen a gritter since Thursday up here ffs. My car is pure **** on the snow had to be dragged home from the Manse road by an Isuzi Trooper, its been even worse since i put bridgestones on the front.

I've dug mine out three times today, With the ploughs going past moving everything to the side of the road and I'm talking about 2tf of snow where I normally park it I even had to dig a space to park it!

So I've dug it out three times and dug it in once.

So Mr Snow plough man comes along and moves all his **** to the side of the road so I cant get my car in and out, then I come along with my shovel and move it all back.

James only gritters Ive seen have been sitting outside the chippy or chinky(top work lads keep it up!!),no roads up here have been gritted since Thursday and heard reports today that they've nearly used all the grit.

It's a pain in the *** alright! The west midlands is coming to a stand still, all because the roads didn't get gritted.

Saturday was a nightmare! The Birmingham New Road (A4123) is the worst I have ever seen it! I hate to think what it will be like tomorrow. It's not been above -4 and it's been snowing since about 4ish.



It's a dual carriageway, not that you can tell.

Do you defend your honour against an assailant who approaches on the other carriageway? Like jousting?

FFS ..... That road's almost clear, come up here and spend a few winters and see how you get on

Hysteria1983

If you are up north in the sticks then I expect it to be worse. The pic is simply a pic of that road looking it's worst, it's bloomin' obvious that one or more roads around the UK, even THE WORLD, will be considerably worse.

It's not a competition though!

Roads across the province are in very poor shape.
I've seen gritters in Belfast and on the motorways, but none where I live, and the start of the roads here tend to back that up

well you will live in the ar$ehole of nowhere

There are un-verified reports here of gritters going out and NOT gritting, just so as their tachos show they have been.

Doesn't surprise me, I'm pretty sure they were doing that here last winter.

Hey!
Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Whats the point in that?


On another point
How come gritters can drive in the most awful conditions.
I saw one once going down a really steep hill and the road was pretty slippery

FFS..... Im tired of people who live out in the sticks whos rush hour is the local farmer in his tractor on his way to a field and the paper boy doing his rounds, comparing a relatively unused road to a major road within a very built up area!

A bloody taxi overtook me on this road saturday night as I went through an amber light (too late to stop safely) so he set the camera off and now I dont know if ill get done aswell

Hysteria1983

I like you.
