Put half a dozen of us on salary Mike, say £10 a week and we'll turn up for your staff party at the end of 2011  :z4

I did but was a bit of a long way round.  Just drove straight through the Urie by Cemy this morning but was deeper than I thought.  Made it O.K but was not comfortable really so went long way round.  Still big but starting to come down now, biggest spate this year so far.

Cheers

Fintray is goosed too when things get that bad, that road gets flooded too.  If I went via Dyce it would not be worth me going to work, I'd use more £ diesel than I'd earn in a day  :z4

I bet your sphincter was going like a rabbits nose when driving through the Ury Ben.  :z7

The snow must have took some fright for the river to come up like that.  I am still in Lanarkshire and it has shifted but not to that degree.  Was going to the Clyde for grayling today but the river is like chocolate milk.

I have only the odd inch of snow in shetered spots here John, Lecht road open again etc has thawed very quick.
Wasn't any flow where I was driving was just by the water works at back of Inverurie.  Wasn't fun though, I hate drving through stuff that deep.

Cheers

Ben
