Biglorryblog's favourite old curmudgeon has been having a spot of bother with the snow...and when I say bother I mean bother...above is a shot of his magnificent Maggie in a French snow drift!Meanwhiole the old boy tells me: "BLB---'Well he said,'if you bought snow chains you could probably move!' Well, says I, if I had snow chains don't you think I wouldn't be stuck in this lot in the first place?'" Fair point well made...I'd say.'

Anyway he clearly managed to extract himself from the white stuff as he says: "Second pic...
The South of France had an unusual fall of snow this week,I thought the radio chappie said 2cms when what he actually said was 20cms,I think that's about 10inches in one dump,bringing the whole of the South to a grinding halt.Even saved 48euros at an unmanned tollbooth,wisely spent on grub and warming brandy---lot's of it. Next day it was back up to 12 degrees and slush...." Well wo betide any gritter who wasn't doing his job to the Boss's satisfaction is all Biglorryblog can say! Meanwhile, click through here for something completely different.

The Boss continues: "This third pic is of a rather smart model of Glendinning's 50th anniversary rig, at least I think so." He goes on to say: "You should be able to eat this week Brian,bought CM and T&D,I don't think the Spanish will be doing the CPC, that English guy last week hadn't even heard about it. You watch the Brits will go through it,the rest of Europe will ignore it,and the D.A.F.T will just put it down to part of our training to save paying back the money. As usual you heard it here first ta ra...The Boss." Mmmmm I can't help feel that he's not the only one that feels the Driver CPC is a waste of time--what do other BLB readers think?
