Hi Dave.

 

What are the factors which have changed since the 80s?

 

 

 

Schools shutting as soon as it snows

 

Kids not walking to school, posh women driving 4 x 4s 1/2 a mile to school, appplying make up crashing into kerbs and then getting stuck and then causing hold ups

Took me just over two hours to get to Manor Lane via Derbyshire Lane and the ring road from Woodseats Road, calling to pick up workmate.

I drove steadilly without reving engine and took my time. What a shame other lunatics who think its great to fly around skidding, cutting you up because you try to leave a sensible gap and they want to queue hop and generally being pillocks. It amazes me how many morons have driving licenses.

 

IQ's do seem to plummet in increment weather! We've had enough bad spells these past few years that people would learnt their and their cars limitations(or at least Darwinism would have claimed them).

Another spell of prolonged heavy snow apparently to hit us within the hour if raintoday and forecasts are to be believed.

[francypants 441]

More snow forecast for this afternoon.

[whiteowl 54]

That's a big chunk of cloud about to hit us...

Metcheck reckons 4 deg C, and there’s been some sun heating up the roads, so even if it is snow it might melt straight away. I’m not sure whether it is expected as snow, sleet or rain. We wont have long to wait to find out.

Wish it would go away..... BRING ON SUMMER !

[francypants 441]

Snowing now in Birdwell.

Shame.

 

I was hoping for a bit of interesting and intelligent discourse on how technological progress in some areas can cause practical regress in others but, judging by that answer, I guess I'd best not bother.
