I agree that Geoff Hoon is a complete and utter c**t also and his artument about the gritters didn't add up either. He said that 1 gritter costs £100,000 but that it would never be used and that you have to bin them every 10 years or so. Firstly why would you bin a £100,000 truck that hasn't been used - ok it's 10 years old but it still hasn't been used? Also somebody on the beeb said that the cost to the economy was anout £1.2 billion pounds per day - based on 20% pulling a sickie/day off. So if you double that as the weather improved over the week, that gives you £2,400,000,000 pounds lost. That's a sh1t load of gritters to me!
