Slippy roads - if you can find them!

The roads were a bit treacherous this morning - I know it is too late to warn anyone! I presume that the lack of gritting effort was in one way or another due to lack of cash, caused by the restrictions of our wonderful Government.
And just think of all the money we have saved in the Somerset levels by not dredging rivers. 
I think we did something about lower reaches of rivers silting up as the water speed drops, it causes the rivers eventually to run at a higher level than the surrounding ground, the water being held back by levees [raised banks] left to it's own devices the river will not be able to cope and eventually the land around it floods.
- Basic Geography!
I presume no one involved in the Environment agency did Geography at school, but unlike me they will have passed Economics!
 But never mind, the money saved can be put towards paying for the Dutch to come and rescue us with giant pipes and pumps.
