I've seen more land rovers today than 'normal' cars I swear - I think it's called showing off tbh!
Andy - I do like that landi of you mates, proper hardcore madness. I've always wanted one but it would be even less practical than the lotus for me - a pure play thing. Still, I will save up one day.

what's even more entertaining is seeing most of them don't know how to drive their 4x4s! :x

I was going to a job in Northumberland today, right in the sticks, my van got halfway up a slight hill then as i came to a stop, started going backwards. Brakes were on, ABS kicking in, handbrake on....nope. Still going backwards gathering speed. My apprentice was going to bail out like the post the other day in the ice. The van came to a stop 100 metres down the bank without hitting anything. I nearly crapped myself.Phew

In fact, I distinctly remember losing both my arms and head to frost bite when I was 8. I was also killed at least twice by the 10ft tall out of control snowballs we used to roll in the playground. Now schools close when there’s a slight chilly breeze! Kids today, dunno they’re born.
Health & Safety for the win ! :/

Too much snow here can't walk anywhere without doing my best impression of Bambi on the ice, and cars are skidding off everywhere. Attempting to go anywhere would be suicide.

We've got about 4" here in my part of snowy South Wales, and it's still coming down.

I think I'll take the option of 'working from home' today. Does building a snowman count as working from home
