actually no, If you scoop it up and put it in a bowl, pour some milk over it and eat, it makes a wonderful substitute for a high fibre cereal ;D ;D

Yeah - its flipping ridiculous round here - almost every road has been covered in it.

does anyone know the councils reasoning behing doing this?
personally i feel they haven't considerd bike riders

[Icey]

I haven't see any of this on the roads?

Wouldn't make any difference anyway - Chippenham's road system is stupid - huge potholes and raise manholes everywhere.

I presume they are putting it down as alot of the roads are melting and its an attempt to stop it getting worse! They use that well known contractors.... Slapiton & Bodgeitup!

some ares of houseing areas in chippenham have been done but it's mostly all the back roads

I haven't see it - but then I haven't really been out ;D

and out on the country lanes we've also got all the rubbish that gets washed off the raised banks when it was raining. Always fun to find a huge patch of sand on a sharp corner.
