Not in South Yorkshire (aka Sheffield). They're still slinging the stuff about with gay abandon...

That looks ridiculous, I'd be sending an email or if you have a local neighbourhood gossip site, get the story out. 👍

Pretty much. You don't need to go very far south or west to be in Derbyshire.

It rained last night and early morning,so by the afternoon the wind had dried the now salt free roads. It's to be settled and pleasant the next few days,so what's the odds of them re-gritting tonight to spoil the fun again? A bog cert,I'd say.

On the plus side,the council have named a street after me,cause I'm such a cool person. 8-)

Hmm, that memorial is a bit poor taste isn't it? Are there little mangled bodies behind the plaque?
