I think Aldi or Lidl have some of those coming up soon if so I having some, Plymouth city centre is like one big ice rink, and what were you thinking? I couldn't consider improving my mother in laws survival chances ;)
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
