Spare a thought for council litter pickers in this weather

You have my deepest sympathy.

Thanks, but I'm grounds maintenance ;)

Has maintenance ground to a halt too?

These are dark days.

Winter work for maintenance is cutting back shrubs, clearing up leaves, repairs etc, but in this weather we help out with gritting. Only the grit's run out, so we just sit in the van and accuse each other of farting.

I think when the grit has run out all the lads should be out with shovels clearing a pathway for the likes of me to get out!

I've almost run out of food and the snow is coming down thick & fast here in the Derbyshire hills.

Need a pneumatic drill to clear the ice here.
