Default Top tip

This could be handy for someone on the icy pavements. Just sacrificed a pair of old sports socks and put them over my shoes. They work brilliantly on the ice! We have about 3/4" solid ice on the road here. Even I am able to stand up and walk about. Previously I couldn't stand due to the sheet ice!

If you don't mind looking like a bit of a nutter then they really work

Sounds good to me. Rather look a fool in socks, standing up, than a fool on my arse on the ice

As a side tip you can get snow socks for your car tyres. Could be useful for people who have to drive in the new few weeks with the weather predicted to say bad.

Google Snow Socks or have a look at http://www.roofbox.co.uk/car-snow-socks/

I was being flippant honest!

I know it means extremes of weather hence the coldest winter for 15 years as they said on the news earlier.

I'm tempted to try that. I wear trainers which are more fashionable than being part of sport's kit.

they look good but they don't do them in my tyre size and decent snow chains cost a fortune
