over_head_cam Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Agreed Mike. Most round here are just too lazy to get the shovel out. I would have probably got out this morning if there wasn't a Punto in the middle of the road Alex, my pioneering spirit has waned slightly due to age

accord83 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I love snow, and we only got 1/2" and it was gone by 11. Bummer
over_head_cam Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Can I just say that 1 foot is 30cm. Thank you Antz, I'm on my way, I reckon if I keep the 165's spinning long enough they will generate enough heat to dry up the mud and melt the snow. See you in about a fortnight :lol: Glen - You love it

antz Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 plus ive just had a tip off from someone (mentioning no names) that the london underground was closed today due to snow. CLOSED DUE TO SNOW!? An underground rail networ that runs UNDER GROUND was closed to snow? JFC! It seems all you need to take over london is a tray of ice cubes and a blender to grind it into a icy powder then scatter it on the ground.... you southerners really are a bunch of pansies (awaits abuse)
over_head_cam Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I won't justify that post with a response

escort21 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Obviuosly you don't know anything about London transport networks .....Good old Boris said some really good answers why to the news people
BIGKEV Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 no need to await the abuse Antz - they are a bunch of pussies in london - They have an abundance of excellent cars but none can really drive them as they only ever go 20 mph anywhere anyway lol
