Only in Norfolk

Deep snow is making it look like my weekend escape from incest central to take in the footie is off so I'm stuck here for now. Not much happens in Norfolk and news stories tend to be of the "mayor's hat stuck in tree" variety, but the inbreds are aon a roll at the moment.

Following hot on the heels of the "man attacked by Oompa Loompas" debacle:

..we have the Norwich response to keeping the buses going in icy conditions:

This was 3 days ago before the latest heavy snowfall. Good to see that the driver of the double decker got his family to help.

Beam me up Scotty.

It's a bit of snow. Grow up.

I have the Loan of Daddy's X5 today... I can see me having to ferry several people home after work

I dont know whats funnier, the fact that we get 1cm of snow and the roads come to a standstill, or a few Norwich Tractor boys thinking they can actually push a fucking 10 tonne bus up a hill...

Look at me! Look at me!

Im just saying ive borrowed a 4x4 in preparation for the weekends snow.

You absolute ponce. Unless you live in South Wales why would you need a 4x4 to get through a few snow flakes? And Preston doesn't even have any snow!

It's called showing off Rebel.

its not.

If I would have said, Ive borrowed my fathers Helicopter - that would be showing off. *

I wouldn't have thought a woman as powerful, rich and successful as yourself would be annoyed or even give the slightest reaction about the fact im currently mooching around in a BMW X5. lets be honest, they are not the most expensive 4x4s in the world by any stretch are they?

*My dad does not own a helicopter.

Apparently a bit more than you've got. I know this as I have more than half the staff "working from home" today. Funny how they're not answering Skype calls. If my IT guy is rolling about in his garden making snow angels I'll kill the skiving f*****.

Tractor Boys will be Suffolk. I think you'll find the correct vernacular for Norfolk folk is "one big happy family"

We Need Bolton Hater to clarify this for us when he finished with his sister.

I'll ask you again then, why do you need to borrow a 4x4 to drive through no snow? Does your own car not have wheels?

Have you fucking seen it???

Seen what, your car?

No, the snow... obviously.

or have you not left your bedroom at your mothers house today?

I'm working from home. There's no snow.

so I was right then...

There is plenty of snow in the north west. I went to Liverpool up the M62 this morning and it was falling quite heavily.

Most of the main roads around Manchester and near the Trafford Centre are fine but the back roads and side roads are bloody treacherous.

I'm supposed to be going to a birthday party in Bolton tonight but if the snow is bad this evening then I will not be chancing the M602 and M61. It's not worth the risk.

PS. I have a 4x4 as well!

Newsflash!

If you have no life and wish to spend 8 minutes watching people in Norwich falling on their asses then this is the video for you.
