Well it is 30 degrees in Warrington today !

[Mamyalynne]

Sensible move, drivers would be complaining if they didn't do something.

[emmie]

its as hot here i'm sure, and probably a lot more bodies on the deck making it warmer still

[viv38]

Agree Mamya.

[Bazile]

So what are they doing - ironing the tarmac ?

[boxtops]

Don't let them complain they don't have any grit come January......

[Mamyalynne]

gritting lorries had to be sent out to spread crushed rock dust on melting tar to create non-stick road surfaces after roads melted in parts of England.

[Mamyalynne]

Still seems sensible to me, perhaps I am missing something.

[ummmm]

It's needed. Tarmac is sticky, salt isn't.

[boxtops]

I think it makes great sense, mamya - this is like the days of my childhood, when we used to pop the tamac bubbles with our sandals as we walked home from school.

[Mamyalynne]

Loved doing that but not getting my legs scrubbed with Vim later lol

[boxtops]

:-)

I used to pop the tarmac bubbles as well
