We have seen how the recent bad weather has brought out the community spirit in folks - looking in on neighbors and those who can get about in 4x4's offering lifts - but the local paper for Burnley,East Lancs. - has reported incidents where one rural village had its salt bins raided by 'townies' - one woman drove from 10 miles away and started to fill a bucket when she was challenged and another cheeky blighter pulled up in a 4x4 with a trailer and shoveled grit into the trailer - as there is unlikely to be any replenishment - you can understand their point - once trapped on the M5 during the torrential flooding of a couple of years ago in a 12 mile tailback - I saw what happens when normal order gives way - everyman for himself !
