WHAT a spoilt lot of whingers and moaners we Brits have become.

We get the first cold snap for years and instead of the Dunkirk spirit all we seem to hear is whining and carping because someone?s bit of pavement or approach to their particular shop, school, car park or whatever hasn?t been gritted.

The area to be dealt with is huge and the roads naturally have to take priority. The limited workforce cannot be everywhere at once and do a good job, so let?s hear a bit of praise for them and less of the miseries.
