Great film markb110 Thumbs Up

I was wondering the same thing a few weeks ago. I loved my Donkey Jackets when I worked on site in the winter.
Been killed off by the Fleece Jacket.
It is agreeable that the Fleece is a more useable everyday coat, but you won’t get the same warm toasty effect by wrapping a fleece around a gas grill like you would the Donkey Jacket.

Never did have one with orange PVC shoulders. Old school high vis Rolling with laughter

Three young women came to my rescue and pushed me free. Every snow cloud has a silver lining. 😏


I remember watching a soft top bmw practically crawl onto the A19, when we had the bad patch, The most cruelest thing i ever saw, as a disco owner sitting right up his arse, practically pushing him. I thought how do the tables turn as its normally some BMW owners that do that trick. I thought nah i am not playing, but i thought no pressure there from the disco owner Laughing Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

No snow here but ice is the problem.

When the snow was bad, the company i work for, said Andy can we borrow you and the defender, I was like what for? They wanted to bring some poor sod in for nightshift, as he kept ringing in saying he cannot get in, So we brought him in, the poor lad we thought was going to cry, But the laugh was we were waving at BMW drivers and others that practically just gave up Laughing Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Same here too. Our street doesn't get gritted at all. Even on winter tyres in the D3, it was entertaining Laughing

Our village gets gritted. It's only a side road. I believe it is gritted because it used to be a bus route. No bus has come anywhere near our village in 30 years. Please don't tell the council Rolling with laughter

I deliberately moved the cars around and kept the defender outside in anticipation of snow this morning, as predicted by Alexa and Siri.

No Censored snow

Put it away again in the garage. Bet it snows tonight

^^^ That should make it snow!!

I walked past our amazing hardware shop yesterday and saw they had snow shovels outside. I was very tempted to buy one, but then thought if I did it would guarantee NO snow!! Laughing James
