“Stop Whingeing and buy snow chains” says Geoff Hoon the Secretary of State for Transport.
‘Why has nobody got snow chains and why are you all whingeing about what the Government hasn’t done? He suggested motorists who have not spent £54.50 on snow chains for their tyres could not grumble about disruption to their journeys.
This only goes to prove that this man is a total fool. No wonder he’s known as “Buff Hoon”. Transport experts say tyre chains are unsuitable for the UK because they cannot be used on cleared roads or at more than 20mph. They are designed for use on frozen and compacted snow that you would find in Alpine areas of Europe where many of the roads are not salted or ploughed.
