yep - I was ill on xmas Eve and after reading this thread and checking out the symptoms - I probably had it. Only lasted just over 24hrs for me but left with no appetitie at all. Not great given the time of year!

Couldn't have put it better myself! Is this really the best use of grant money? Who has identified this as being a key method of increasing cycling in the city and where is the evidence that this has been proven to be effective before? Or, is it, a novel way of using up a bit of money before...

Fair enough but the gritters are supposed to grit prior to the snow. Once gritted, those roads remain free and allow for re-gritiing thus keeping them open. I understand that sometimes, rain precedes the snow and washes the grit away that has been laid down but that wasn't the case this time...

I'm sure its not beyond the realms of possibility to get some sort of delivery even if its near the bins not actually in them. There are plenty of commercial vehilcles still managing to get about despite doing so with great difficulty. Funnily enough, the grit thrown onto the roads eventually...

Why haven't the grit bins been replenished? They sit full of grit for 364 days of the year - on the day that you need them, they've (understandibly) been emptied yet B&HCC can't even forsee this eventuality happening and put some resources into re-filling them. With the freeze / thaw expected...

I don't expect B&HCC to grit everywhere - that would be unreasonable. Most people in my street have been out and cleared 'their' patch. However, given this that most people will actually get off their backsides and do something if it important to them - why aren't the grit bins full? The three...

Tens of thousands. I did wonder about the amount of noughts but thats right isn't it? It's be a few years since I did 'hundreds, tens & units' at school..:lol:

I can't believe that the buses still aren't operating a full service. It's over 48hrs since we had that, lets face it, mediocre amount of snow yet you'd think we'd had a 6 foot dump. I reckon it would be useful for those invloved in B&H's winter gritting operation to be sent on a fact finding...

0 degrees in BN2 - snow almost stopped

:lol: It MUST be People - sticking your car in 1st and stamping on the accelerator ain't going to work and fucks it right up for everyone else smoooooooooooth is what you want

The roads are a nightmare Just picked the missus up from Town. cars being abandoned all over the place. I got within 100m of my woodindeagn home before being beaten by the last trcky uphill corner no sign of a gritter...

I can also confirm that the national grid is supplying BN2 with a nice, steady supply of electrcity

solved! :thumbsup:

I can see this from Woodingdean but as its coming from over a hill, I can't pinpoint it. I drove into Brighton on saturday and I'm sure when I got to Buckingham Rd it was still coming from down towards the seafront. West Pier area maybe?

Hmm? That's an interesting subject i've pondered before. I know little about Rugby Union's league structure and just how far up or down it the Brighton and Hove teams are but if they did merge, managed to raise the level they were playing at then they'd need a vacant small-ish stadium to play...

I loved the Equalizer - my hazy recollections of it makes me think it had a great theme tune? He was also the subject of my favourite Viz 'crap joke' Dear Viz, A while ago my husband farted in bed, the noise of which sounded unmistakably like 'Pol Pot' the former leader of the Khmer Rouge...

I am thrilled to have a manager who has done the BUSINESS for me in a previous reincarnation of Pro Evo.

I can't argue with that assessment - cold pizza for me as well

I might have a look there ta!
