In the summer, they get sent to the workshop to get stripped down and repair all the corrosion damage and general siezure created by the salt ready for the winter.

The other year, the highways mob built a swanky new hanger & yard on the outskirts of Havant.
Everyone assumed the hanger would house the brand new fleet of gritters & patrol cars seen gathering dust behind the locked gates. Nope, they then filled the hanger with the tons of salt & grit & it looked great  :y To date, I think they`ve been out gritting about a dozen times  ::)

That's because people are stupid... Vehicles are generally waterproof,  road salt is not ::)

;D ;D Surely it would be my double-wide wellies & velcro gloves if I were moving to Wales..

You just don't need the double width wellies . . . .  ::)

Talking of summer, has anyone seen any wasps, bees, butterflies, ladybirds......? I have seen the odd one, but that's all.

Very simple way to guess summer weather is look at the Jetstream map. If it is very south like at the moment we will have cloudy, changeable, wet weather and if cold arctic air meets hot southern-European air then we have, like now, many thunderstorms and summer runoff flash floods. A good indication of a far northern jet stream and settled sunny weather is the Azores high being further north than average and covering parts of the UK.

I'm sure those that like a slightly warmer arctic-UK winter as their summer are very happy as we haven't had the usual too hot wingers on here yet! :P :P :P

Guaranteed at least one week of nice weather as I am off to Euroland for a week, so will probably take this drizzly muck with me :D

The longer these little b******s stay away the better  ;D

Seen plenty of bees, Very few butterflies not as many as you'd see years ago. Not seen one ladybird... Seen plenty (more than usual) of those annoying blue bottle flies though.
