M74 southbound

I recall seeing a magic trick once, where a truck drove through the snow, and as if by magic, all the snow in front of the truck was moved aside. But I appreciate that having a magician on standby, for the odd day that it snows, is too expensive.

there were snow ploughs everywhere but it was that bad, as soon as they ploughed the snow, it just lay again right behind them !

but you must have far superior ploughs and grit down south and send the crap up here :unamused:

anyway when we do get independence we will finally get the heated roads we have been asking for ! :laughing:

On BBC News website:

“Many drivers were stuck for up to 11 hours on the motorway in South Lanarkshire and Dumfries and Galloway after HGVs blocked the lanes.”

No mate the HGVs were being stopped from going any further by the morons in cars who can’t drive in a light dusting.

and there was me moaning about being sent to Plymouth , looks like for a change the planner new what he was doing :laughing:

More of the same tonight. From 9pm tonight Police Scotland will put a Stage 4 - Avoid Travelling on the Roads for areas affected by the AMBER SNOW warning. Traffic Scotland

And still the double decker overnight pallet services will run…or try to.

No idea if we sent one of those to falkirk last night as its from a different depot, but suspect they tried, if they could get out of Blackburn.

Used to be the post must get through, now its the pallets.

Half an inch of wet sleet, and the motorway is shut for hours. And Scotland wanted to be independent?

Youve been trying to hard for a while now ND but this is embarressing to watch.
Since you appear to have no idea of what youre talking about, best knock it on the head

asda and the likes do it over here,and its lacking in taste for the connoisseur of fried heart attacks on a plate like myself.
out of the butchers,off the p&o and head for the fridge.job done…
tesco scotch pies arnt too bad at £1 for 2 for emergency use only,but not in the same league as the galloway butchers.
if you want to eat the absolute pinnacle of fish supper excellence,then use the chippy at the end of the main st just before you see the loch on your left when heading through cd for the boat…special fish supper…nothing to compare in ireland north or south.
words cannot do this justice…watch and learn the delights or a proper chippy supper.

last night must have been one of my quickest up to bellshill and back down, the worst bit was from southwaite to penrith and then the A66 for a couple of miles…
plenty of gritters up the scotch side, and a very distinct lack of cars,

You can’t mate. That breaches the T’s&C’s of the betbeav betting contract.

Have a game of rock, paper and scissors instead. (You should be favourite-he has sticks for arms :wink: )

It’s not just the UK that struggles in the snow, even our Scandinavian cousins come undone sometimes…youtu.be/k6wxFCuVasA
