dont tar us all with the same brush.
The only thing that bugs me is the boring old predictable moaning about the roads not being gritted and ploughed enough the hollow arguments of
"what do i pay my council tax for"
and
"other countrys like sweden do a lot better job than us"
Yes they do a lot better job than us because some of these countrys are snowbound for 8 months a year so they have to spend billions of pounds a year more than us on state of the art snow clearing equipment just to keep the countrys economy running smoothly nobody here is willing to pay the extra in taxes it would cost to have the same road clearing abilities just for the sake of a few lost days of work/schooling a year.
