    Well, when the trains were off last night and the gf went in to get change off a 20 for a bus by buying a packet of hankies and some chewing gum he refused the sale. I walked past him 20 minutes before when he was out scraping the ice off his step and told him to go up and get some grit from the grit bin 30 yards from his door. "ohh I never knew that was there, thank you".

    Last time he gets a sale from me.

    But the golden rule when travelling in snow is to start out with a full tank. It's amazing how fast the fuel gauge goes down when stuck in snowy traffic jams.

    Still whinging, I see
