Seeing as normal grit wasn't suitable for the conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada and Scandinavian countries don't just grit the road. There is a big budget which goes towards keeping things moving, it's not just a case of gritting roads to stop this issue.

You post does lack any compassion for those that have lost their lives. Football match played, or that 7 year olds life back. I know what I'd pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit below the belt to suggest i have no compassion for those that have lost their lives. Of course, goes without saying it is dreadful for anyone to lose a life. Im simply saying this country are not ewuipped for any adverse change in weather, unlike most of our european neighbours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im simply saying this country are not ewuipped for any adverse change in weather, unlike most of our european neighbours I wasn't going below the belt, just the way you were wording your posts, it was a little abrasive and made it sound like the only thing you care about was football. If your words have misrepresented you, then that's unfortunate. I think there are more variables that can be discussed in one post but I don't think any of the Scandinavian countries nor Canada have the population density of England. Therefore Englands problems when this type of weather arrives are logistically harder, and any 'prevention' methods words be exponentially more expensive.

Overall. They are better prepared, more comfortable, have a bigger budget and a better understanding than a country which has sporadic snowfall and a smaller budget.
