Had a phone call from Tesco's home delivery, "Sorry we are unable to deliver your shopping, you can come down and collect it, if you like"

So out I went to clear the snow off the scoob, a good 5" of the stuff . Trundled down to West Thurrock, hardly a car on the road, and what do you know? I took a wrong turn and ended up in an empty part of Costco's car park. Donuts anyone?

Still grinning now. Might need to pop back down there later for a erm Pint of milk.

what with all the grime and salt on the roads I'm sure we will all be needing the services of 2clearbuckets.com soon.

I believe that they are doing a winter special at the moment
