Been windy in Norfolk all day and it's the drifting that keeps shutting the smaller roads,i had to walk out to help a mate out as he was stuck and i couldn't get to him in my ranger.Just as i got to him after walking 3 miles across country with a spade he got pulled out by a tractor,i called him a dick for driving out in these conditions then turned round and walked back home ... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott's right you know, us Brits are really community spirited when the chips are down.... it might even bring Wilf back home when he sees all of these acts of kindness lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
