My house is at the bottom of a steep lane with only 6 houses in it. We have woken up to deep snow three times this week and Mrs U has had to leave her Beemer at home, because it is useless if there is even a sniff of frost or snow. She has traveled into work with me in my trusty Landy Disco which got out of our lane with no problem whatsoever. Once out of the village and onto the main roads we have come to a grinding halt as we join the rest of the country that comes to a standstill after a few flakes of snow.
So Mr Brown, the answer. Either have seperate lanes for all us sensible folk that own a 4x4 so we don't have to crawl along behind Joe Public in his Fiesta or Nissan Micra.
Or. Make it compulsary for every family to own a Land Rover.
Think of the advantages of the second option.
This would ensure job security for, we hope, British workers. Also, it would put an end to the crawl to work or absenteeism caused by the inclement weather. Thus, no halt in production which will give us a head start on Jonny Foreigner.
So Clarkeson has been right all along. If the tree huggers disagree, let them keep their pissy little Prius's and we can all laugh and tell them to f**k off when they need a tow out of a 2 inch snow drift.
