    Be careful lads and lassies, on the road to Mc Geoughs on the border just under the bridge there is black ice. My father nearly died tonight as a result of it, he skidded all over the road and it took him some time to grab control of the car. He said ''I must have hit a dry part of muck or something because then the car skidded me all over to the other side of the road, had another car come along around that sharp corner in the process he said he would have surely crashed and a fatal accident would have occured.''

    you'd think they would grit those roads :mad:

    No chance. The Council think spending 3 million Euro on block paving the town is more important.

    Please accept my apologies for my typo error.
    I have now amended it to your satisfaction; 3 million Euro.
    My Irish shovel hands weren't made for typing.
    I suppose they would be of better used like my Father and Grandfather before him working as a Navvy shovelling.
