Christmas Meal - The Swan and Cygnet, Wakefield - Sunday 5th December

[jenic]

Wanna bet! Got 60odd going to South Shields the other week.

What is it? The 160hp?

No one at work has seen much above 40mpg on a good run, 35mpg average!

Unless you have the new ecoflex model, no one at work has one of them yet. Text me a pic of the computer saying such a high figure

Thats probably because they're not paying for it lol. Company vehicle = Use and abuse lol.

Not where I work, get paid fuel back at 11p a mile, so people with an insignia are having to subsidise company mileage, which is why the majority of the department have handed the insignias back early to run there own cars on a much better mileage rate. Its a disgrace tbh, vectra's used to achieve 'break even' point with ease, these new insignias are shite.

It's dropped loads since then! I rape it to work and back, I'll be surprised if I had 30mpg at the min.

Yeh its the 160 SRi model.

SNOW UPDATE

Apparently, according to the met office we should be aware on Sunday, f**k knows what difference that is to be prepared, since just being aware isn't going to hep you if you get stuck is it? Oh, look its snowing, I haven't got anything with me but I was aware it might snow.

Anyway, someone pm's asking what would happen, well we have booked and they will be open and serving. The pub is just off a very busy, main, very well gritted road. So once your off your own street and onto the main road you'll be fine

No excuses, it took me an hour to get my car off the drive this evening but i did it eventually! Get shovelling and buy/steal some grit

haha,we have had alot of snow here over the past few days, n a few major roads out closed, hopefully it clears up a little and the roads arnt shut, coz my car wants its cs christmas meal! :rasp:

 

[harribo66]

[caroline.]

i work over road to this pub. it snowed a lot, all roads down from motorway are clear tho, just a LOT of potholes!

 

[harribo66]

ive just stuck that post code into my satnav, is it easy to find from there? coz obv dont have a house number?

 

[jenic]

Yeh should do.

Come off the m1 at j39, then head towards wakefield. Through the first roundabout straight on, then at the second roundabout take a left and your there

 

[harribo66]

ill be coming fron the m62 though . and when i put the postcode in uit brings up somewhere different?

 

[harribo66]

ive put in the postcode from the other thread wf43bb and this seems to be the correct one, am i right?

 

[harribo66]

and that takes me from the m62 onto the m1

 

[Feirny]

Shall I bring the sunflower for a laugh?
