Its here !!!!
Poxy stuff, i hate it as it trys its best to stops me going to work.
Left this morning in double the time i normaly have for the drive to my Yard. Less than 2 miles down the road i get behind a British Gas Escort size van who is doing just about walking speed and as soon as we hit a small bend on a slight up hill gradient he grinds to a hault or should i say spins his front wheels to a stop and i have no choice to stop as well.
I get out and he say in a Northern Accent ( sorrrrry maaaaate, i carnt get Traction) Twat i said, you should have been driving in a higher gear and a little faster to keep going.
I go to the back of my van and get my shuvel out and dig the fresh snow from all round my van (VW LT 35 Rear Wheel Drive). I then offer him the shuvel to which he says, " Fuccckkkk it maaaate, i'm leaaving it herreeee )
Ok i says and off i drive
--------------TWAT--------

Anyway, its quite bad around the Oxted,Godstone area

Best stick to the back roads as i did as its less busy and you get to cut your own tracks

I did this yesterday and it took me 5 hours to do a 25 minute journey!
Got stuck on one hill for an hour and a half... bloody 205 tyres!

My own fault really, should have taken a spade and proper boots...
