Road users grit teeth
The story of the moment is the snow/sleet/ice we have been getting.
Councils across the land have been getting a bit of stick for not preparing for the heavy snow showers. I think it’s fair to say that we as individuals should have anticipated this better. Responses to less moderate winter weather in the past have been less than great.
Here are several teeth-gritting tweets I found:
- MORE SNOW in Berks! Nothing at 4am , 6am huge crashes of thunder and then snow falling fast, be careful on the roads - shortage of grit
- Only in Britain will they ‘forget’ to grit a major motorway (M4). Snow? Where did that come from? Amazing!
- Council didn’t grit last night. Only 4×4s could get up the hill to leave my area this morning. Stupid lazy two-bit penny-pinching council!
- Only in the UK would you get a council who fail to grit half the roads…muppets!
The next time RBC run out of salt maybe we should mice up a few of the council memebers & use them to grit the roads:-)
