Britain 'may not have enough grit to cope with winter'

#3  'may not have enough grit

Send a crew of dole-collectors to the beaches armed with shovels, wheel-barrows, and dump trucks lorries for them to fill. The grit problem will find itself quickly solved, especially if the diggers are allowed to keep whatever treasures turn up in their shovels.

#2  I suspect these days that the Britons as a whole may be lacking grit in more ways than one. It took me a split second to figure out which one the headline was dealing with.

I believe the Icelanders have some spare grit. In fact some real fresh grit. Might be willing to trade for some outstanding bonds.

But... but... that would involve letting one's foot off of the freier's neck, and risking them getting out of the trap. These are all vastly more important than actually Getting Stuff Done With Dolores.
