Same here Dave, 5 inches of the blooming stuff fell here on Boxing Day and up to today nowt has been gritted apart from the County Offices car park and the road up to it! Milder today though and now it has virtually melted, the gritters will venture out now I bet.

Paul didn’t really want the forklift in this pic, but it was taken before he knew we were at the yard.

Not sure either James, but there were a lot of various hauliers about years ago. Those Dodges and the Commer were my era. I drove similar to those two.
Cheers Dave.
