Aaaaaargh! We're doomed. It's snow!

You have to laugh. Our local news channel was interviewing people who had slid down some black ice on some residential backstreet in their cars.

"I fink it's reely disgusting that the caaahncil don't gritter down ah avvynew. Ah've not been able to get to work, dahn the shops nor nuffink".

How about getting off your lardy arses a bit earlier and walking instead?

    If you think thats it's tough now why when I was at school we had to walk 3 miles through the snow in our bare feet so as we didn't spoil our shoes.

    Simon,
    I would have thought that as an expert(ha ha)carrot grower you would have known that SNOW is the best thing to kill carrot fly(you'll know about them!), so maybe this year you will achieve something better than AVERAGE C**P

    Au contraire!

    Compared to Ian Medwyn, Gerald Treweek, Ian Simpson and Graeme watson are crap at growing carrots! LOL

    p.s. Are you going to Malvern with Ian? We've booked into a local hostelry for the evening so if you're about I can hand over your coveted Smithyveg awards.....a pint for Ian and a handful of potato fertiliser for your good self! LOL
