They have just done a preventative salting of the road outside my

Haven't had a frost yet here in Wembury this winter.
Do they know something I don't?

Where were they last December when we needed them?
They abandoned us. Our road was impassable for a week and the few
buses we get in these parts refused to consider driving it.

Actually the forecast for gritting in Devon is not prepared by the Met

I won't say who it is done by.
