I have just heard of a terrible Grit shortage in the UK.

Apparently these people do not stockpile grit and salt in the event of a snow emergency! Yes doesnt happen there very often but one would think that would make it easy to prepare for.....anyway...

I heard via the BBC radio derby

Folkwaves

Mick Peat and Lester Simpson.

Please help out in these times of national emergency when folk presenters may not get to their studios! How?
Send a little bag of grit and road salt to

Mick Peat and Lester Simson
BBC Radio Derby

If you all reply they will surely have enough grit to thaw themselves out and get traction upon the face of the earth going once again.

Mail your little packet or container of road salt and grit to:

Mick Peat and Lester Simpson
BBC Radio Derby
56 St. Helens Street
Derby, DE1 3HY, United Kingdom
01332 616 161

We are out to thaw out a nation! Do your Bit! Be a salt and grit sender! The true grit is the grit you share with others.
