Did my own bŁoody snow clearance today - digging out the western drive to BEagle Towers. Not used to manual labour (so working-class), but the old combat-highs were a godsend. Then wandered along to the main road to check the surfaces hereabouts, only to have to help push a local taxi driver (who had no idea about how to drive on snow / ice) up a small slope.....

Has anyone been tempted to try the old Plod-baiting trick? Where you build a snowman, dress it up to look like an RAF copper, then watch as they knock it down with a Land Rover? Then build another, this time around a concrete bollard. Then watch whilst the Plods wrap their Land Rover around the bollard on their next attempt...

Uncle Ginsters, that is an appalling reflection on today's RAF. When the contract Malvinas Airbridge cannot get in or out due to MoD being too broke to maintain its operational aerodromes, I hope that the bill the contractor send to the MoD will be HUGE!
