Ive been helping some friends move house. Loading and unloading a hired van in the evenings over several days in this weather has been different.

I can imagine......Hard job at the best of times.
I did removals for 2 years about 20 years ago, very physical and very underpaid

Glad you've escaped the worst Andrew, our cars are stuck on the drive in snow drifts, roads are mostly impassable & our places of work are closed for safety reasons until further notice. Every cloud ..

My mates son does this for a living, pay is crap but it's done wonders for his physique

Hope everyone on here is ok, worst weather we've had here in years.

It was snowing here this morning......although the snow didn't last long as it's currently sunny. Cold though!

The 'Beast 2' is here

I really hope that’s it , now I know in Cornwall & Devon they do them witches things any chance of you all down that neck of the woods doing a sundance ? Also the clocks spring forward next week as I noticed on my Capri I never change it .

Not until April 1st

I always have my scones the Cornish way...jam first then cream on top

Sorry Andy but I don't know what made me want to make this statement but my fingers kinda just tapped away and out it came

No problem Nick, but I prefer a pasty

We had a dusting of snow over the weekend, but thankfully the sky is clear and blue today. Just as well, as I awoke the Capri from it's winter hibernation to take it for a quick drive and systems check before the MOT.

Nice one Andrew. No need to wish you luck with the MOT fella. Its a formality with your stunning 2.8i mate.

I put my mot off till I replace the core plug when I am off work next. Glad I spotted it before the mot !

All the best mate

Hi Nick,
Yes, good spot. Hopefully it will be a reasonably easy job and the car will be up and running in no time.

I hope you're safe and sound. I've just seen pictures of Devon on the news, and it doesn't look at all good at the moment.

Hi Andrew,
It was bad in places but all good here thanks, and it's thawing nicely now The novelty of It soon wears off when you get older

Just hope my MOT goes as well as yours in April. The 7 months since I last drove it seem to have passed fairly quickly, but looking to getting behind the wheel again

I wouldn't mind parking it there, except there's no sofa to sit on in that garage.

In 2018 they bought a fire extinguisher, must be for a very tall person to use though!
