On the BBC this morning there was a piece on ‘The Cuts’ and one of the things which may be cut is the Post Bus, particularly one in the Yorkshire Dales. One man was being interviewed, a local business man who used the bus daily and he said …

“The bus is essential. I mean, I can walk in the summer so that’s not so bad, but, in the winter when there is three foot of snow, that’s why I need the bus!”

I am hoping, you, like me, are thinking … how the hell is the bus going to be any good in three feet of snow?
