Re: Snow Joke
Never mind the gas running out, the river Irvine has froze at the low green (something I can't remember seeing in 27 years living in Irvine)

Re: Snow Joke
Soon to be seen in Irvine High street a shop selling snow-chains.John Donnelly wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 3:55 pm The other thing is that the Scandinavians and the rest all have snow-chains in their cars, trucks and buses as a matter of course the way we have spare wheels.
If we had snow chains and were used to getting them on inside a few minutes, we would also have a lot less problems with a wee bit of snow.
Re: Snow Joke
As was stated on the radio yesterday...you wonder how we won the World wars. Agreed. But then society today...snow forecast, give up, roll around, stay in the hoose with 40 loaves and 100 pints o milk.

Re: Snow Joke
I cannot believe it my central heating has packed in. Phoned for help but they can't come till Monday because of the weather they have a large backlog of breakdowns. I just stay round the corner but the way they work is first come first served. Thank goodness I have a gas fire. Its very cold outside so a day to stay indoors.
Re: Snow Joke
How to avoid being stuck in snow. HEED WARNINGS,AND DONT TRAVEL ON ROADS AFFECTED. SIMPLE. As far as I am aware, there is no difficulty in the three towns, or Kilwinning. I've had more snow in my fridge.i do concede that it is cauld, Brrrrrrrrrr.

Sod's Law I suppose Bill, but at least you'll be relieved to have your gas fire as backup for over the weekend.5siamese7 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 02, 2018 8:49 am I cannot believe it my central heating has packed in.

Aye, with that bitterly cold wind it's definitely not a day for a casual wee walk.

Wee update. ASDA Ardrossan now out of milk n bread. TESCO have no bags (deliveries unable to get through). Take your own bags. Bargain B has no bread.
Meanwhile whilst in Bargain B I had a quick read about Sturgeon having a go at transport bosses for sending all the HGVs out. What part of this can she no understand. This is why TESCO and ASDA are now heading toward a crisis.

Re: Snow Joke
Viv, thank you for your kind words. Its these condensing boilers that stop working because the drainage system freezes up apparently from a lack of insulation in the drainage pipe. My pipes have insulation but one inch from the house isn't. I guess i'll have to put an electric blanket on the bed tonight or maybe a crock water bottle. I kept them in case we go back to year zero. With no central heating its no joke going to the loo especially with a plastic toilet seat. Anyway I detect a wee bit of warming and hopefully no frost to-night.
Re: Snow Joke
Its certainly no joke for elderly people with health problems. As for me I do plan ahead and always have plenty of food. A fridge freezer and a micro wave for defrosting are a marriage made in heaven.

Re: Snow Joke
Cause of shortage of goods not caused by ms Sturgeon or transport but by idiotic shoppers panic buying and stockpiling . Get a grip on reality and cease behaving like there is no tomorrow. I have it on good authority that there will be.
