If you were stuck and they got you home, you would worship the ground they inhabit.

However I didn't get stuck because they were being a load of hysterical old women looking for a reason to strut about with their chests puffed out; my point was that the "flooding" was so severe that MX5s weren't struggling and yet there they were like a high-vis, low budget pair of Batman wannabes warning people off and waving their measuring sticks. I don't get stuck in puddles/flooding because I have eyes.

There’s a light dusting here this morning.

Bet the 95th emergency service are creaming themselves.

I entered the honouree 10th emergency service today due to snow, no 4x4 though but high viz on. Was trying to ascend a bank and unfortutely no luck, but stumbled across a stuck damsel in distress gave her a few words of advice and a good push and off she went. Find out she is a nurse and friend of friend. Can see why they do it, felt like a proper 2 bob hero.

Shout out to the 4x4 crew sleeping with one eye open, the forgotton heroes of snow, rain etc

To be fair, there are worse story setups in porn, or so I hear.

Feel sorry for the last guy they interviewed (on their own video). Seems it was getting so dull they had to fade the audio out and go to the credits

Watch them in action. This is their plan to tackle a simulated plane crash. This has got to be a parody.

My favourite part is the name check and how he fks up the Chinese names:

Various hi-vis jacket colours to denote rank. Check
People being organised into lines. Check
"Hot drinks" and economy biscuits. Check
Lanyards. Check
Flasks. Check
Older ladies with massive fat arses. Check
Condescending gammon faces. Check

The videos mysteriously stop 6 years ago. I was wondering what ELE (extinction level event) occurred, but it seems they’re still actively preparing

Exercise Cranberry, Lanyards, St John’s Ambulance, a whole load of nothing happening to Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, genuinely gave me a good chuckle

You laugh but three times this year we’ve had an airliner crash into to middle of my city centre and nobody turned up to do anything, one of them landed on an orphanage as well, ffs. I feel a calling to do something...


ETA do 4x4 response know anything about Vaillant combi boilers? Mine is showing an F 37 error code.

For an organisation who clearly like to spend a bit of cash on expensive kit they don't really need, would it have hurt them to have some kind of camera stabilisation. I feel seasick after watching that and I don't actually get seasick.

The coffers are empty. Too much money spent on lanyards, Happy Shopper tea and slacks to show off dat ass

F37? That means it needs ineptly towed out of a field.
