By comparing notes we both find that neither her area in cumbria or mine in lancs have had any gritters. We have had no salt deliveries, and the farmers have been clearing the roads to get the milk tankers through. We have rung the councils for salt and offered to collect it but there is none to be had. If we spread salt for the villagers and one slips we can be sued. This country is going barking mad. Common sense is a thing of the past. We have coped with far worse weather than this before, the main issue seems to be that councils can't think, improvise and innovate any more unless it has been signed and sealed in effin triplicate, voted, reported and published.
