I was listening to the news on Radio 4 or 5 at the weekend - apparently it snowed in parts of the UK, who would have thought. Anyway, this was headline news. And mention was made of the M25 and people being stuck in their cars overnight.
Pretty traumatic to be honest, but one interviewed driver got my blood pressure up. "It's the M25," she raged, "Why wasn't it gritted or snowploughed? They knew it was going to snow."
Yes. Yes they did know it was going to snow. As did you. As well as presumably getting warnings about essential travel only and yet... you still got in your car.
They had a chap from the Highways Agency then on basically totally exasperated about people still driving despite the warnings and stating that one of the reasons they hadn't been able to snowplough the route was people abandoning their cars so the snowplough couldn't get through.
Perhaps next time it snows really badly a few of us could arrange to get stuck on the Innocent overnight and can then get on the news about the lack of preparation by the authorities.
