BRACE YOURSELF FOR COLD SNAP

Alannah of qld, gives us the nuts 'n' bolts about the Queensland cold snap from a Kingaroy perspective. - D
"I have lived in Kingaroy and i can tell you it's very cold, nothing like scrapping [sic] ice off your windscreen in the morning. I worked at P.C.A in a tin shed on the flats in -7C, you can have three jumpers, two long pants on and three sets of socks on and your [sic] still freezing."

d'Artagnon of Brisbane makes an important point about the little understood dangers of dress shoes and their large 'welts' - D.
"Well I would be happier with the taxi driver wearing that footwear rather than dress shoes though longer socks do look better. Most dress shoes have large welts which are a safety issue when driving cars. It was drummed into me in the sixties that welts can catch on the underside of the edge of a brake pedal and loose you vital fractions of a second in going for the brakes. I am often horrified at the monster welts I see on police officers who drive pursuit vehicles. Check out race drivers footwear and then have look at what you are wearing. Maybe the police should have a look at the things they are issued with on driving safety grounds."

"Thank fully [sic] he had shoes on, imagine the fine for no shoes."
