We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Richard <richard.pi(a)gmail.com>
saying something like:

Troll.
In the event you're not a troll, suck it up, it was your own silly
fault.

Yeh I know what you mean, the trouble nowadays is that nobody knows
how to drive on ice/snow. Everybody thinks that all roads are salted.

I think in this economic climate the councils should stop gritting any
roads.

It will save council tax money, also help the environment by forcing
people to drive slower, or not at all, and then take local transport.

Also by helping to create jobs in garages for guys to repair cars, and
also in the showrooms selling new eco friendly cars.

There you are solved the crisis all in one go.

And mostly the thick idiots will be the ones who kill themselves, thereby
improving the UK's gene pool!

I visited Canada this spring. Over the winter they have temperatures
down to -30 and snowfalls of two feet are not uncommon.

They only salt the highways. Other roads get ploughed and some grit (not
salt) to help grip.

Life goes on. Nobody stops driving. They don't rush about like the
idiots here (because they don't have to!) I didn't see anyone get stuck
or have an accident due to the weather.

It's only in this stupid country where everything grinds to a halt for a
few white flakes. Or where people slide off the road because they expect
the council to have salted it (listen to the radio commercial about it!)
