Since when does our Government concern itself with cost effectiveness? They spent about a billion pounds on a Dome so we could have a millennium party...that"s a once in thousand year event. They can"t wait to get up in the morning and waste money. How much does the UK economy lose because of this sort of thing? All the disruption costs miwyans and miwyans, so it might make sense to invest money in contingency plans to prevent an even greater losses because no one can get to work, or can"t do any work when they get there. Bit of forward would be nice is all I"m saying. You can guarantee that if this occurs next winter it"ll be the same chaos. Chaos I tells ya. Morris dancing everywhere there"ll be.

What is it exactly that you are proposing to deal with these snow events?
It"s very easy to criticise but much harder to make a difference. The longest shift I have done when dealing with an event of this nature was 26hours straight. Not once in that time did anybody say thanks but I took 1000"s of call from people wanting their street cleared NOW!

What do you do?
PokerDan1984:
Bit off topic but what should we do? Spend millions and millions on snow equipment so when it does snow for a week every 19 years we"re prepared? Yes snow brings us to a standstill but I"d rather that for a few days than spend £££"s of money on equipment that"ll hardly be used
Besides I wouldn"t have been snowed in today! :D
