BRITAIN UNDER SIX INCHES OF TRAVEL CHAOS

Britain was braced for more bleeding obvious advice this week as forecasters warned of another incoming front of TRAVEL CHAOS. This new warning comes only days after the whole country awoke to find a six inch covering of TRAVEL CHAOS had covered much of the British Isles overnight with more flurries of TRAVEL CHAOS over the following 24 hours.
However, whilst a further dusting of TRAVEL CHAOS could be a problem in itself, some experts say the real danger for drivers is of being hit by a sudden shower of sodding patronising advice from motoring organisations. "If this weather continues, drivers need to be extra careful to avoid large patches of ****ing obvious advice," noted Dr Gneil Pipely, Head of Wasting Everyone's Time Studies at All Saints College, Appleton. "For example, it's all too easy to be in the car listening to the radio when, next thing you know, you're being told to avoid any journey that isn't necessary, and by the time you sense the smugly high minded tone it's too late to take evasive re-tuning action".
But facile warnings apparently aimed at people who just drive around in their cars for no reason whatsoever could be only the tip of a very patronising iceberg, Dr Pipely warns. With the expected return of TRAVEL CHAOS motorists should also be on high alert for other blandly useless information such as 'carry a warm rug in the car', 'take a flask of tea with you on every journey', 'if the road looks icy, don't bang the car into first gear and mash the throttle like a mentalist' and 'always arrange for a St Bernard to run everywhere after your car just in case you drive into a crevace on the M4'. Motorists are also reminded that a good way to keep warm during TRAVEL CHAOS is to smash the car radio repeatedly with a hand jack until Sally ****ing Traffic on Radio 2 just ****ing shuts up.
"Ha ha ha," said some motorists in Sweden and Canada whilst driving perfectly well through a massive snow storm. "What is wrong with you people?" they added, grittily.

Its the age old story of sky high taxes (to allegedly upgrade these things) Turns out its all going on MP's expenses it seems.

£27,000 to repair a millionaires bell tower on his £5,000,000 house...bunch of cnuts.

 

[Garree001]

Tis pretty though... That picture was taken after about only 30 minutes of snow.

I'm now just staying in the nice warmth and whittling the time away until the man in the TV tells me I can go out without killing myself Mmmmm booze.

Heavy snowfall is expected in parts of the UK, with south-east England expected to be worst affected.

reason for this is they can not handel the cold
i know this for face by how the southeners reacted when the rooms hit 15ºC they started moaning

they even monaed about it being dark

I fancy some Irn-Bru is that vital? .

When will people learn that Winter tyres aren't really that expensive, given better grip throughout winter and mean that the country doesn't grind to a bloody halt when a some snow falls......

 

[JFL]

dunno what all the complaining is tbh.... not like its all that much compared to what we used to get!

 

[Hellcat]

I managed to drive to work down all the un-gritted icey B roads (Cause the A roads were all at a standstill) on my 225/45R17s goodyear Eagle F1s. They're pretty much the worst tyres in the world to be on during winter.

On my list for next year is a set of 15s with 185/60 snow and muds for Nov-March.

I think the thing is in Scotland they don't **** themselves. Basically if enough people are using the roads the roads will stay open unless there are feet upon feet of snow. Last night they were telling people not to travel unless essential and today they were reaping the rewards of that because the snow was nice and thick on the road because no one had driven on the roads.....
