    Not a pretty sight :hehe:. Although last Xmas I was bought these things called Yaktraks, tried and tested by sensible grannies across the country apparently. You put them over the base of your shoes and they act like crampons to give you traction as you scale the north face of the slight hill at the end of your road. The only problem is, you have to remember to remove them before walking indoors on a tiled floor or you go for a burton like that scary bird with the terrible haircut on the compensation ad - you know, the one who fell over and claimed lots of money. Although personally I think she should have sued the hairdresser.

    No Marley I can actually say I still use the outside bog in the winter and if it gets that cold I will stop reading the paper out there.

    I had just dropped the walls of the outside bog in Wales with a view to rebuiling it.
    Being 5 o'clock in the morning i thought i'd use the still working bog rather than a bucket.

    I was sat there, reading the paper when someone walked by with a dog. I just smiled & said " Bore Da,Shwd ych chi."

    Oh no.....no no no no no..
    I don't want all that snow. I have to get to work every morning and I now drive a piddly little Clio that will most likely just slide into a ditch somewhere.
    No, not happy and I want to go hibernate somewhere.

    Is there anyone I can write to so I can get this snow diverted. :scratch::scratch::help:
