good morning from grumpy towers.

the cleaner has arrived and starting her work lady grumpies in bed and the kids are at school so i thought well why not bash out another column so here it is.



SCOTLAND is facing another savage "white-out" winter - with temperatures plunging to -20°C, forecasters warned last night.

The country is set for a repeat of last year's blizzard chaos - which brought power cuts, school closures and saw transport grind to a halt.

now you may call me a cynical old so and so (you.re a cynical old so and so ! ED ) yes thank you ED your comments i can do without on a monday morning.

but isnt this some kind of warning or prediction the local authorities and power suppliers and transport should take note of ?

remember last year gritting salt shortages emergency services under pressure

trucks struggling to get food and fuel to the supermarkets the country at a standstill.

now am the only one with sense and foresight but doesnt this say get everything ready plenty of gritting salt and contingincy plans in place etc so we dont have a repeat of last year not just in scotland but in england and wales.

You'd think so wouldn't you !

I've seen reports here - down south - that some councils will be short of grit/salt and others have ordered extra.....we'll see !

I remember the headlines at the time

England cut off from Scotland, Hopes Grow Gordon Brown might Not get home.

I have also been reading reports that we are In for a hard winter. Of course my priorities are different to most people and my concern Is primarily that chicken and egg supplies will get through so I can keep the Fox Community well fed and there will not be a run again which left me short of bird seed like last year.

Andy Pandy.......... It may cheer the cockles of your heart that I had an E mail today from the Nazi Party and they are organising a huge Blanket, quilts etc collection for the elderly this winter.
