Delivery driver foolishly got stuck in the snow

Tweet

So, there I am standing on my driveway and Transit delivery van is heading along the lane, I watch him go as I wait for my hands to warm up. I see him go past the safe point and on to the part where it gets heavy going, especially in the snow. Well than a mate of mine goes by in his truck so I think nothing more about it. Then I here revving and shouts from down in the valley so I drive along a bit and the van driver has reversed off the road in the snow and proceeded down a rough track. I walk down to talk to him. Two young lads, one looks too young to be working but says he is 18 and the other not much older. They tell me they were doing a delivery and reversed into the track to turn round. This is unbelievable as I had watched them drive along without delivering and because they are some hundred or more feet down the track. They had wheel spun till they had buried their wheels in the ground and had no idea how they were going to get out. They were phoning their friends to see if they could help but as they were miles away in Oxford and had only cars, I don't know what they expected them to do Well they only have £21.10 on them but I agree to pull them out for that anyway, though it was not really worth while. Keep your wheels straight and just let if go where I pull it. Would they? Would they heck as like. They kept turning the wheel right round locking the vehicle stooping my towing it. Even for the redoubtable Land Rover towing a van in snow over mud is no easy feet. Some people are a danger to themselves, no? all the best urban
