rite chaps, the other morning i went to pull away, let the h.brake off and it was as if the shoes are stuck on the drum.... it was like driving with my handbrake on. so the past two nights iv left it of and just chucked a brick under to prevent it rolling away 
but today id not long got in the car and came to traffic on a hill where i put my handbrake on and the fucker stuck again.
it was only about a month or 2 ago that i inspected all the shoes and drums insides and cleaned them down with a wire brush etc... all was fine
is this down to the weather or what?
any help will be appreciated

either try cleaning the rear brakes out or leave the handbrake off and in gear when parked up for the night.
