Bloody good fun sledging daan green hill this avi though

You mean like Salford have applied for a £10M grant from Salford Council for theirs

I have a sort of conspiricy theory about today. I heard a couple of weeks ago that this country didn't have enough grit to see a long cold snap through. All of a sudden we have one and hardly a single road in our area, and that means Cheshire, was not gritted. Even when it started coming down not a single gritting truck or snow plough was out. The gritters came out at about 4.30pm. I think today was just an exercise to see if we can cope without the grit. It took me 1.5 hours to get to Leigh and 2.5 hours to get home. A bit frustrating but if it saves our rivers and wildlife, bring it on.

Course we can , all it needs is for everybody to buy a Land Rover , simples

All the roads I was on yesterday were well gritted, I know this cos the back of my legs has grit marks and I was walking in, oh hang on, I was in Wigan.

Today I have no grit marks and have seen cars sliding all over the roads and the pavements are a disgrace, oh but I've been working in Leigh today.

Stop mincing and you won't get splashes.

asda hadnt bothered to grit their carparks today

Any way courtesy and manners came back to the roads today. Only because people were scared of really totaling their motors.

When we were turning out last night going into Leigh there was a smash involving about 3 cars on westleigh lane.

Thats about a £1k s worth of damage.....

I'm glad to say that LSV seem to have a decent stock of gritt this year. Last December was a nightmare.

That can't be a bad thing Ian - keeps all those 'Plastic Wigooners' out of Leigh
