Last winter i got stuck on a private road which was iced over and it took an hour and a half to get off the job and after that i went to B&Q and got a bag of grit.
It lay in the van unused till summer when i dumped it as it was just extra weight to humph about and you can guess what happened to me before xmas.
Only took an hour of digging out two tyre tracks up the drive to get off the job this time but i am going to get a sealed bucket full of grit to carry about and keep it this time thus guaranteeing a mild winter next time round.

I'm definitely going to get a few bags and put them behind the shed out of sight until next year.

Can you send me a link for where to get them from as we have a 2 mile lane to our yard and we have not seen a gritted and don't expect too would be good for next time

think it would be a good idea for you would just have to pray for snow

cheers

I've just been looking into getting a snow plough and grit spreader for the pick-up, could get all the kit for about 2K, wonder if it might be a good add-on to the window cleaning for months like this.

I have a lot of commercial custys with car parks that I could offer the service to.

I know it might be a bit late for this year, but maybe next.

what do you think?

What is the point of a grit bin if you cannot use it !  Regards Hotsteam   :

My SIL is a manager at our local Builders Merchants and all his stock pile has been seized by the council.

Seized? Did they march in wearing jack boots?

Is this what GB's Britain has come to when the  council stazi can order the seizure of goods from a builders yard?

With Government backing they can do what they want

Vive la révolution.

Wally, how did you get that accent on the 'e'?

It's a bit complex, but here goes...

First of all, I use StarOffice 8 rather than MS Word, but I guess it would work on MS Word as well.

1 - write the word "revolution" on the word processor
2 - change the language for the document to French
3 - do a spell check it will change "revolution" to "révolution."
4 - copy it and paste it into CIU
5 - close the word processor document remembering to change the language back to English (uk)

Is that a bit sad? Why should anyone be quite so anal as to want to do that? It's just me being me, I'm afraid.
