00:00 Tell me how you think Sheffield copes when the snows come?
00:04 Not very well if I'm honest.
00:05 I think we're not very prepared all the time.
00:09 Sheffield seems to come to quite a standstill.
00:12 But if you've got kids then we cope quite well.
00:14 What do you think it could do better?
00:19 Prepare.
00:20 Prepare more.
00:21 Clear the roads.
00:25 Do you think Sheffield copes OK when it snows?
00:28 I don't really think in general in the UK we deal with any sort of extreme weather really well.
00:33 Whether it's raining or cold we're always a bit of a nation of moaners.
00:37 I like the snow but I like to sit and see it from inside my living room from sort of outside to be honest.
00:43 Could you tell me if you think Sheffield copes very well in the snow?
00:48 It's a hard one.
00:49 If it's snow that they're kind of partly a bit more aware of, yes, because the grits do come out quite regularly.
00:54 But if it's kind of one of these random overnight jobs, no, because I think because of the hills and everything I think it can be quite treacherous.
01:02 I live up at Mearsbrook off of the Derbyshire Sea and that's quite a steep hill.
01:06 So if it snows and they're not gritted you can't really move your car anywhere.
01:10 But I think everywhere in this country when it snows everybody panics a bit and it all just goes a bit downhill.
01:16 Is Sheffield coped well when it snows?
01:19 Not on the whole, no.
01:21 We're a very hilly city so some streets are alright but as a majority I think the gritting and the clearing leaves a bit to be desired.
01:29 Do you think Sheffield copes well when it snows?
01:33 I think it's varied, obviously because it's quite an unexpected thing in this country but overall we're quite hilly so I think it's ideal.
01:40 I think people can get around and stuff like that fairly easily with transport and stuff.
01:44 Do you think Sheffield copes when it snows?
01:47 It doesn't.
01:49 Cope.
