Hi guys,
best wishes n all.
Saw this clip on another forum this morning. Kind of sums up the weather around most of the UK over the past few days.

Impressive bail out
My car park is still pretty grim but we're almost clear here now for the most part

Oh dear!
At least the wall stopped it before it hurt anyone
Reminds me of the famous film of a dustbin lorry skidding sideways down a road in similar conditions

I might have had a few words with them if they'd been hanging out of the window to video me instead of warning me about the ice. Those guys on the pavement could have waved them down, too. What's the matter with people nowadays?

According to the comments there was a write up that said they were warned but ignored the warnings and tried to drive anyway.

Well I'm a bit surprised that they bailed out, no-way would I have done that, the car was slipping on ice and turning around, one of them could quite easily have had their leg trapped under the wheels, would have been much better to stay where they were and slide the seats back then hope and pray. Absolute stupidity to even try to drive out if they had been warned of sheet ice on the ground.

Yep Nigel......Daft thing to do indeed Nigel.
However they must be a bit daft or they would not have tried to travel in the first place.

I'd have told em they were 'good to go' in the first place. The spin might have been even more impressive
