Listening to the news today multiple references have been made about the
opposition complaining that there's no national road grit reserve. I'm
just an electrician, and I left chemistry behind some 20 years ago, but
do they mean grit salt? ie, stuff that absorbs moisture from the air and
so "goes off" after a few weeks? That's like wanting to have a national
cement reserve.

And of course, such a reserve would need space, planning permission,
infrastructure, etc. All set up since the election..
