hhaha, My walk to school was 30 miles, uphill both ways.

Only 30 miles, ours was 50, cross country. We had to wade across a river half way there which was lucky as we needed somewhere to catch our lunch on the way. Then we had to sacrifice someone to lay across the quicksand to form a bridge. It was so cold we used to rub nettles on our hands and feet just so we could feel something. By the time we got there school was closed. Didn't learn much at school.

[slobodan]

You had lunch!!!!!

[Nostromo]

so what, you had lessons

Apparently it has nothing to do with tyres or driving too fast it purely due to the council not gritting the roads enough, it must be purely their fault.

Well we have been out all last night and all this morning helping pull people out and get them home!

Doesn't seem to matter how much it has snowed around here, i just cant seem to find anyone struggling enough to help. How dull.
Saw a bloke out of my landing window in the cemetary who had got stuck at 90 degrees to the road but by the time i got round there a load of people had turned up and pushed him out. Spoil sports.
We must have too much grit around here and not enough snow.

it isn't all about people not knowing how to drive... i been driving 25 years and when i tried the very steep , ice sheet that is my road with cars parked both sides and one opposite the T junction at the bottom, my bum quivered let me tell you...

did i laugh at the people who abandoned their cars at the bottom? no, i applauded them for being sensible, leaving it there rather than trying the hill, getting stuck and abandoning halfway or worse, smashing into some other innocent who had left their car at home...

Mate of mine who I got my MT tyres off has one of those. Sus lift and snorkle, looks very capable.

[Helen]

ours is just normal... no lift or special tyres... not my fave motor but it has certainly done the job when it snows... would have no chance in my little
MX5.. it's a white bumps outside the house

The trick here is for everyone who is walking to sit on the bonnet of FWD cars, or on the boot of RWD cars, they help and don't have to walk up the hill.
