"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message k... The message from David WE Roberts contains these words: snip Now where did I put my snow chains? #Jingle chains, jingle chains, In the crisp deep snow: Stranded cars in all the lanes, You still cannot go! Nyaa - nyaaa - nye-nyaaa - nyaaaaa Very true - the conditions where snow chains are of benefit are extremely limited - you need at least a couple of inches of settled snow but no snow drifts or abandoned cars. Got them over 20 years ago when we lived in Debyshire - to do the last mile into the hills. The main roads were clear but they didn't plough or grit the minor roads. I spent more time taking them off and putting them on than driving with them. Without them, however, we would have been stranded for days at a time and I needed to get to work :-) No snow here at the moment - but very cold. Cheers Dave R |
