Are the summer tyres put in storage to be swapped back when it warms up?Originally posted by scooterscot View PostGood job you don't live over here then, it being mandatory an all.
€550 to winterise my fiat 500

Get it right...Originally posted by Paddy View PostHave you tried calling them about global warming and there is no snow, it's an illusion.
If we have a hot spell in Summer, that is called 'global warming'.
If we have a cold spell in winter, that is called 'weather'.

Have you tried calling them about global warming and there is no snow, it's an illusion.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostThis week's cold weather has seen the Met Office issue its first England-wide Level 3 Cold Weather Alert of the winter.
The Met Office Cold Weather Alert service supports the Cold Weather Plan developed by the Department of Health, the Health Protection Agency, blah, blah, quango, blah, nanny state.

It's winter, it will be cold.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
