throwing salt in your well against freezing pipes

 Way to go.....

We had a frozen outside drain. Eight ( yes eight... I mean 8!!) kettles of boiling water didn't shift it. 50 grams of Maldon Sea Salt voosh! sink emptied in ten minutes.


I lived in Maldon and now live in Cheshire, often traveling past the huge salt stacks in Middlewich, so can claim a certain salty disposition.

Expensive stuff at this time of year. Apparently the salt companies quadrupled the price of road salt over the last few weeks. And our stupid Local Authorities hadn't stored anywhere near enough, so most of them spent tens of thousands of pounds buying salt at the inflated rate.
