Far too dangerous  to spend any time out working .

Far better to be sat in the warm marketing , lining up work and marketing materials for when the weather turns.

Direct line have got a 2000% TWOTHOUSAND!!!! RISE in motor claims for the first week of the year ,, what is the point, you can only work at half speed at best.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

You know you're right Jason but when you condition yourself into getting and doing work it's hard not to do what you feel is right AND the missus wants to go shopping!

Shaun

PS Jeremy Kyle is crap

The same as Mark here, been using my Vitara with porty and roto in back. When i finally got to a job in Fareham, second time of trying (76 mile round trip) i still had to use low ratio gears to get up the street

Looks like same again, next week, if the snow they have forecast arrives on Sunday

I have 5 nice flats lined up from the only let agent I deal with.
Knew of them a few days before Xmas.
Wanted to do them between Xmas and New year but couldnt contact anyone for the keys.
Now they chasing me to get them done and I am slowing them down due to conditions.
I had trouble pushing the Sainsburys trolley thro their car park never mind the Scorpion across the flats car park.

Get some crampon's from your local ski shop and pull (not push) the machine.

[clinton]

You right Adi - pulling is a lot easier then pushing. I used the wrong word - I was pushing the trolley around the store but pulling it in the car park - still difficult.

[colin thomas]

shaun, love it. took a while to get used to it but wouldn't swop it now,

On a slight thaw hear in north Cheshire.
For the first time in days there was no frost on the inside of my cab windows.
OK i have had a heater on in the back 24 hours - not too high, just keeping it above 3 degree I reckon, but on previous mornings that has not helped the cab much.
Side roads still bad, only main roads here been gritted - like most places I suppose.
