Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh!!! I've only just come down off the ceiling after seeing that pillock on telly this morning
I'd say that 95% of the rock salt supplies in this country is kept under cover in salt barns. For the other 5%, it's outdoors but covered with plastic sheeting to keep it dry. So ITV found what must be the only salt heap in the country that was out in the open and uncovered... 2,000 tonnes of it, open to the elements, being diluted everytime it rained etc
As the salt is diluted it leaves are pockets in the pile, and rabbits also create voids, making the pile unstable, thats why there are signs stating do not walk/climb on the pile
. So there he was clambering over the salt pile, talking to the camera about this "grit" throughout. Boy, did he piss me off
And because they haven't enough library footage from the last 20 years
, they're coming around one of our depots on Friday to record the same stuff they record each year, here's a gritter, heres some SALT, here's a snow-blower, and here where it is all controlled from
Aaaaaaannnnddd relax
