Oh goody! When can I collect?

I don't want an Halal rabbit, mind you; let me deal with the slaughter.

Might be a slight problem then, did you want it alive?

I still have most of mine in the shed.

I don't need another.

It was hardly frosty at all after they were delivered.

I've only used a small amount.

As an exfoliator.

Being a cripple I need every advantage to minimise the risk that I don't fall arse over tit on the ice again.

I won't be ordering anymore, by the way.

A worried family member ordered it last year.

No good on snow, anyway.

Just hope it's not too bad a winter again.

I'd rather the money be spent keeping town centre pavements clear, and safe.

Re: Free grit for all!

It seems that the power of Accyweb remains as strong as ever since the mythical tongue-in-cheek figure that I attributed to this scheme last year was wheeled out as a hideously embarrassing miscalculation at Cabinet this week.

I was so embarrassed. Pity then that the offending post was attributed to the wrong councillor.

This year I confidently predict that a revised scheme will cost up to twenty quid less than the £6.6m I 'calculated' in 2010 and that we will probably only be able to provide 8bn bags of grit, not the 16bn I originally envisaged.

My apologies for any flippancy which may have escaped the sarcasm detector.
