Wanna be beyond the black stump and then a bit, where scalies fear to tread.
Before my time here. Got any pics?
Iāll take the snow - at least you lot donāt have to mow the sodding lawn every other day.
I wish someone would take the snow parkroyal.Dustbins not been emptied because the bin men canāt get around because the roads havenāt been gritted. Who grits the roads? Usually the bin men on double time at night.Bin men being paid to sit at home but if it was privately run or run by a council with more than one brain cell to share of they would have the bin men and the gangs gritting roads and pavements.Nothing and i mean nothing apart from main roads have been touched.They have run through with ploughs and left the pavements covered in 5 inch of snow which in turn as frozen solid so pedestrians are walking in the road and who can blame them.I saw one poor bloke last night walking or trying to walk on the pavement with only one leg and his sticks no joke he was struggling. I thought if he goes over he wont have a leg to stand on.As for mowing the grass do what i do ā¦ delegate it to your other half 
Well played, sir 
Iām on my jack these days. Every now and then I turn round, look at myself and ask him what heās up to. Being the chippy sort he is, myself usually looks me up and down and says āwhat are you, the catās whiskers?ā
The one legged bloke was 100% true.I couldnāt believe it.Iāve just been on the same road and it still hasnāt been touched. Bradford Council are a useless labour run regime that donāt give a toss.Very corrupt. No council tax refund though 
I had to cancel a hospital appointment for my missus yesterday, the pavements here are solid ice, sheās just getting over a fractured hip from the beginning of Dec 24 & sheās scared of falling again, weāve been loaned a wheelchair, but itās impossible to push one of those on the icy surface.
Iāve searched the double ewes, it seems nobody thought them worthy enough to take a photo.
When i worked for them, the stores fleet consisted of International, TKs and D Series, the transport fleet predominantly Volvo F and N 10 and 12s and a solitary, underpowered F86 nicknamed The Bubble. We also had a couple of 6x2 Benz 1418s, one of which was the first semi-trailer I got paid to drive. On the day I thought I was king of the road, but soon learned to hate them. We also had a single drive 1924, with a clutch that needed two size tens to depress. I learned to change without the clutch on that dunger. Then I bought a White and started with them as a subbie.
The councils spend their money on cycle lanes and speed cameras & bumps public services are at the bottom of their lists.I bet thereās quite a few claims going in. Meanwhile down in Ozā:sunglasses:
Get some chooks, theyāll take care of the lawn for you.

Nah, the legs aināt pretty enough.
For the second time of asking where have the smilys gone, have they been banned for some reason?
Oh just spotted it, looks different. 
But back to the picture, not Buntine, wrong colour, and is that an older model, Iām sure we had proper West Coast mirrors? Also longer tandem trailers
Ah, how could I forget you worked for Noel, youāve only mentioned it a few dozen times. Another senior moment for me. 
The colours look like Westerns or Mansells, but as far as I know neither ever carted stock. Iād estimate the photo was taken in the early sixties, a bit before my time, I would have just started primary school.
Not jealous at all Bleedinā freezing here, Itās -2C & Icy here & not forecast to go above -0C today.
It might be wet here, but not silly cold. A pleasantly cool 25~30ā°C.
