It’s odd to think that perhaps we did quite well with salt on the roads – until recently of course. Since the Council have bailed out and left us to our fate the roads are really really icy! Main roads are clear but you can’t get to ‘em. And don’t start me on the paths. But like I say, it does look like whatever it was they did before was better than I thought!
Funny how these once in a generation freak weather things happen every year though. It wasn’t long ago that I travelled to Warrington on the train and everything was cancelled because it was too hot and the rails were buckling. And then there’s that one off from last Feb. I think the list goes on.
The buses pretty much stopped for hours this week in Leeds too. I wonder how much I get back on me annual pass?
And the price of Council swimming went up by a double figure amount from 1st Jan. The cost of making the toilets stink must've gone up. And why can't I find a postbox anymore? Whine, whinge, moan. Off to hell in a handcart etc.

Hi John,
I've heard that the salt is being redirected to the bloated city of London bankers. Peter Mandleson is most concerned that these 'wealth generators'are protected from slippery circumstances (although salt and slugs don't mix that well!).
All the very best!
Colin
