I later discovered what happened was snow had entered one of the motors, caused a massive earth fault which basically destroyed the power circuits.

And I moan when snow kills the abs sensor!!

Morning everyone.

It’s back, the frost that is. Very grey this morning, could be snow or more likely rain. It snowed yesterday on Kitt Hill, just outside Callington. And again on Dartmoor. We are in a snowless pocket.

Good morning everyone,its taters out there this morning a nice covering of frost Brrrr.

My mighty Canaries are at home today In the FA Cup against Trikeys Homeless Sky Blues.

So Its "Come on yew Yellows,lets be sending them Sky Blues back to Junction 2"

No Penalties today because our keeper is isolating with Covid

I'll bet you weren't aware it was possible to bump start an 08! Never done in my time but was done in ye olde days if the batteries were flat and there were only steam locos around.

I think I'd have spent a lot of time filling in paperwork & being grilled by the suits if I had a proper drivers job with BR

Quite fancy Coventry's chances of getting a win today mate, I suspect that there will be a few Norwich players rested and the Canary eyes are firmly fixed on a return to the premiership..
If this world was as it should be there could have been a few of us gathering today to enjoy the match and spend some social time together.
Take care
