Be prepared

Post by rhino49 »

Just dug out the RM issue snow chains that I stored away about 10 years ago, and fitted them to my Docs - I've had a walk round outside the house and it is absolutely treacherous out there. It looks pretty through a window but not looking forward to tomorrow on the streets.

Be careful out there lads and lasses and make sure you are still in good health to enjoy whatever time you get off at Christmas.

My best wishes to you all and my admiration for a workforce that any normal management team would be very proud of.
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile

Well said Rhino, take care everyone.
Wish I had some snow chains going to need them tomorrow, someone asked for some the other day but was told they only work on snow and not ice, probably given that info because the arn't any in our office and there have'nt been any for years except ones for size 3 feet.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Got mine a few years ago after which there was a few snow free winters! But today when I used them in some ice skating conditions they were brilliant!

This is what we're supplied with, and I've found them to be remarkably good on most surfaces.

Had a look at those Get A Grip cleats on QVC, but they are out of stock at present.
