    Are the summer tyres put in storage to be swapped back when it warms up?

    BTW in London and the South East the weather isn't consistently cold enough in Winter which screws up the idea of getting winter tyres.

    I love the list of regions with the percentages under the alert.

    Least it makes it an easy news week.

    Get it right...

    If we have a hot spell in Summer, that is called 'global warming'.
    If we have a cold spell in winter, that is called 'weather'.

    It's winter, it will be cold.

    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

    Yep, ICE.

    They are paid tulip load of money to do this. THey have got to show some productivity and this winter has been too mild. They have got to take advantage of some surprise snowy conditions.
