All the gritters are in Halifax.... FACT.
I have seen 10 in the space of an hour, more than i have seen in the last week!

I still haven't seen one. Our area is still sheet-ice. Interesting down the side of Evans in central Manchester this morning- the whole road is polished sheet ice and this is in the centre of a city.
Cutbacks anyone?

Central Edinburgh is mental at the moment.
No sign of any gritters ever being out, took me 1/2 an hour to get 2 miles, gave up and came home. Christmas holidays starting early.
Obviously all the gritter budget went into paying for the trams.

I haven't seen one since the snow started. Not that I think we really need them but it's amazing that some major roads don't appear to heve been gritted. The Mancunian way last night is a good example, sheet ice in the outside lane. Our estate has been like an ice rink since the first snow fell, they've not been round once. Even the local indian has refused to deliver to our estate in case he gets stuck. I had to go and get the food myself last night.

Oh you poor Northern things, I didn't think you guys needed gritters up there?

we don't. We're just trying to get an aid package of gritters together to send to the half inch snow locked south. We'll be filling up the backs with important food group items like real beer, black pudding, chippy gravy and whippets.

It's carnage in Southampton.
Be careful out there.

Don't forget the hot-pot!
Can't you mobilise all the pigeon's? We're in dire need of some good hearty food down here, I'm surviving on crepes and herbal tea at the moment.

Sorry, there's a pigeon shortage at the moment what with all the families of 17 living in a two bedroomed terrace on the slopes of t'mine killing them for their christmas dinner.
