Re: SNOW - 10PM Finishes on Sunday ...
kinboshi:
There"s no business like snow business, like no business I know.
Honeybadg:
... if you buy enough snow ploughs you may stimulate the economy ... we can become world leaders in the technology for our 1 in 18 year event ... and sell to the world due to our hopeless currency ...
Or we can lower interest rates every month!

Hotel is paid for and non-refundable so no way we"re missing this and I"m sure all the motorways will be well gritted and cleared.
See you all there.

So just cos the government waste money let"s find one more way to by purchasing loads of snow equipment when it rarely snows?

Well millions and millions spent on something that occurs once a year is better than the £3billion pounds that it"s cost the economy already. It"s more than just buying snow ploughs though isn"t it, it"s just a tendency not to bother preparing for anything in this country and just dealing with them after the damage has been caused. It"s always the same speech. Economic issues, adverse weather, whatever it is...the circumstances are always unprecedented, they could not have foreseen such things, it"s not our fault etc.

So, remind me of your proposals?

So you"re saying that the money we would have spent on equipment and maintaining replacing that equipment over the last 20 odd years and obviously maintaining AFTER this snow has passed will be less than the money we"ve lost due to a wekk of snow?
I think you"ll find you"re wrong.

This has become snow-plough navel-gazing. It"s not just this one week of snow is it, this isn"t the first time we"ve come to a stand still because of snow. So over the past twenty years I would argue that we"ve lost more money through not being prepared, than we would have lost through having better equipment and engineering a better culture of preparedness. Is that a word? It is now. It"s not just about snow ploughs. I"m talking about a wider concern which is the lack of forethought in anything.
