jim 207 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 It's Frosty Tonight So.............................. I've set my eberspacher to warm the van up before I get in in the morning. There's enough salt from living by the sea, wish the dot wouldn't go spraying the stuff all over the place, it makes things rust more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevster 1,135 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Just come back from a walk and it's mighty frosty in Peel already. All the neighbours have newspapers up at their car windows. (3 Daily Mails, 1 Express and 1 Examiner) That's just to deter the local dogging club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fossils 573 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Then, pray, why the f*ck are you asking a Manx forum where the gritters are? How else would I have discovered that it's frosty in Peel without spending money on a phone call? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Voice of Reason 152 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Then, pray, why the f*ck are you asking a Manx forum where the gritters are? Do you not know about the Reciprocal Gritter Arrangement? (GRA?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you not know about the Reciprocal Gritter Arrangement? (GRA?) Is that where we send gritters to the UK and they send us bendy-buses to block the roads so we don't need gritters?

Fossils 573 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Gritter Spotter Alert! At the airport this morning the roundabout on the dual carriageway section of the main road had only been gritted for three quarters of its circumference, leaving an ice hazard for those approaching the airport from Castletown. Also, there was no evidence of any grit on the southbound side of the carriage way from Castletown to Gansey. Port St Mary remained beyond the Arctic Circle with frost everywhere and no gritting. Saving money on grit may cost lives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ooh, there's another Roxanne post that has mysteriously vanished after being quoted. An awful lot of Roxanne's content has been deleted. I wonder why that is? Another good poster gone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ManxTaxPayer 2,082 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Perhaps another poster who thought twice about using Manx Forums after John Wright stressed that a user's identity can be revealed when they die? I know several prolific posters who have quit MF for that reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gladys 7,338 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 He is speaking nonsense. Yes, misinterpreting John. As I recall what John said is something along the lines of once someone is dead they cease to be a member, obviously. Not that they will be identified, more that they are no longer a member. Problem is, of course, if someone identifies a member who they mistakenly believe to be dead then there is a breach. There is also a question of regard for the bereaved. Just MTP'S ongoing vitupery and hyperbole against the mods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
