Why do Americans have this stuff but not Brits ?
Is it an American weather product like galoshes ? *

A bit of polish usually does the trick in the UK
Stuck at home due to snow at the moment.
* Why do they not have a change of footwear instead of overshoes ?

I was stuck at home in the snow all day too. Kingston was a ghost town - no buses, trains and 75% of shops shut!
Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Is sliding the car into a ditch -a euphomism?

Re: Why do Americans have this stuff but not Brits ?
I spent my formative years in New England (New Hampshire and Massachusetts mostly) and in all honesty, I think I went into the ditch twice, maybe three times, and nothing catastrophic. The roads stay pretty cleaned up because the local governments spend a fair amount of money on equipment to keep them cleaned up. Its dangerous driving in the middle of a blizzard or ice storm (which I have also done many, many times), but as long as you keep your wits about you, and drive carefully, you can get through it. I did have a first cousin killed on new year's morning over 10 years ago when he ran off the road in a snowstorm.
