a fairground life
Well it was the calm before the storm, only literally and not metaphorically speaking! The snow has hammered us for two days now. I spent over an hour yesterday and again this morning clearing snow from the miami and skydiver rides. Then I salted the platforms on each ride. All to no avail as there are no customers about. The DZ was even affected by the snow as the secc was closed early (7pm) last night due to public transport problems. It took me 2hrs to get home at night as the roads were so bad. Roll on christmas day so I can get my feet up. As for the water lasers, they are still frozen solid, maybe I could alter them to fire ice cubes?

sounds like a plan people will pay good money for them lol, the thing with the snow is that its a good sight the first few hours but 3 or even 4 days later it gets bit sickening i have spent days clearing my way into fields just to feed the stock so today i thought stuff it i brought all the stock in for xmas they will thank me in the long run nice warm sheds plenty food and water that they can drink none of the hill troughs that are frozen, anyways 2 days until the big santa arrives yahooo lol (not)
Don't know how you make a living in this weather Mr Showman, I think Borderer's right snow's only good for a day or so and that's if you are a young'un after that if you work outside it's a nightmare.
Have to give you 10/10 for trying the only other thing is a shopping center & thats if you have a set of gallopers but with this cold you'll have to be inside to do any good. Thanks for the new page didn't expect one till the New Year. Flatty
That's me all finished for christmas. I've been driving artics for 5 day's out of the last 6,and i somehow managed to avoid the worsed of the weather. I did drive through the odd blissard,but somehow managed to avoid the worse of the traffic jam's.
I did a run to carlisle yesterday,and i got there quicker than showman got across glasgow in his car[see the difference when your a proffessional driver].I was lucky because the 74 was closed the night before i went. I also went to perth on monday and it was ok. It got a bit hairy on the way up,but it did'nt get really bad until the next day. I did do a bit of skidding in milngavie on tuesday,but i got in and out ok.
Merry christmas to all the regular's borderer ,miss borderer,jester,ss,skyliner c,and all the other's who endure this blog.
We will hopefully start getting a few more regular names now that showman has removed the anon option. It's about time he did something sensable.
