Bloody Gritters!!!
Came back from Birmingham this morning and opened up for a play on Long Hill. After a perfectly clear road the first corner was covered in dusty grit... Very slippy! Saw him coming the other way and I politley waved but my gloves stuck and only one finger was free.
 Shouldn't they put some sort of signage up if they have to do this to warn peeps? Crazy! |

No other countries expect the wether to be hot in summer and for leaves to fall from trees in autumn and maybe snow and ice in winter. This country seems to be continualy suprised by the weather. Year after year after year.

But when the weather is not too hot, not too cold, not too wet, not too icey the roads are great though.

I've been on a few roads today where previously they were nice and smooth but now they're all rutted and torn up from the HGV traffic.
What do they do in the US and Canada where they see extreme tempertures in both summer and winter? Are our roads built by pikeys who had a little bit left over from their last job? |
