taxman   12 #144 Posted January 19, 2018 Treacherous here in Walkley, our street is like the Cresta Run.  Yep, so was my road. First thing I saw when I emerged this morning was someone slipping on the road then another neighbour sliding his car into a wall.  I went back for my grippers and they were surprisingly effective.
