Okay so the gritters are not perfect, they do screw up, but yesterday was
out of their control.

Does anyone else agree?


Yes, I do.


Absolutely.

Any if the gritters get out early, everyone goes on about a waste of money
because there is no snow

Ah, but once the roads are gridlocked, the gritters can't do anything anyway!
In Rugby, the local readio station announced that both the gritters owned by
Rugby yown Council were "stuck in traffic". And so was everyone else
anywhere near the place.
