Is your motor 4wd? Yeah 4wd mate so no issues in that front not that I’ve got anywhere to go anyway! It’s just stopped now actually but we’ve an amber warning until tonight and expecting a load more to fall this afternoon and evening apparently. Ive got a meat delivery coming this afternoon so ok hoping that isn’t compromised as I’m looking forward to a fillet steak tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got them on holiday, but didn't eat them all so froze them and brough them back. Tremendous. Hopefully your delivery man will have 4wd, or at least a shovel in the back of the van.

There’s usually quite a few. There is a homeless shelter in the church but it gets full quick so there is a load sleep out near the garages. Sad that people have to live like that. Although I know some choose to. But weather like this Jesus it will thin the number out. Warmer from Sunday though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
