| 1243245 | 2011-11-12 23:59:00 | A few years back, in Invercargill, I had an adult paper run which I did on a motor scooter. One morning we had a real heavy frost. After coming off my motor scooter twice I finally decided that it was safer to walk. I could safely walk on the grass verge but it was real slippery crossing over peoples driveways. I was often on my hands and knees. At about 6:30 am I was still struggling to keep on my feet when this young fellow comes walking down the footpath no problem at all. I have often wandered why his feet had a good grip and mine were sliding out from under me. Maybe he was wearing socks on the outside of his shoes. Someone suggested that I buy a pair of golfing shoes so I went out and bought a pair. I never experienced another frost like that again so the golfing shoes were never tested. Maybe the universities need to waste money testing golf shoes on ice so that I know if they work or not. |

Given that the rain is constant, and vertical (i.e. not the Wellington-style horizontal variety). How does this forum argue? No Google links, passing off or otherwise plagiarising please :D: |
