I think this is strange and I'm wondering if it is true. I heard on the radio that Salt Union is the biggest supplier of salt to local authorities and the Highways Agency. So I looked them up on the internet (as you do!). What did I find?
Salt Union trumpets loud and clear that they are "They only winter maintenance service worth its salt", so you'd expect them to be prepared, know about salt and everything. Nice wintry scenes on the video!
However, hidden away in the News section is this gem -
"Salt Union is using every means possible and taking extraordinary measures to meet the current need for salt. We have been operating 24 hours a day 7 days a week since the beginning of January and are extracting 30,000 tonnes per week but the unexpected and unusual weather means that even working at this level, demand is outstripping supply."
Unexpected and unusual weather? What is the purpose of being the only winter maintenance service worth its salt if snow is an unexpected consequence of winter?
Anybody out there coming to our aid yet?
