Can you imagine the furore if millions of pounds was spent on equipment that was just standing around doing nothing for 99% of the time?

Exactly!

We as tax payers, complain enough already when our taxes are spent on silly things, But spending millions on things that would be used occasionally at best would be crazy.

Its still silly that in my part of the country, one of the councils had to import £600K worth of salt because they hadn't had enough to cope with the sudden showering of snow.

So I suspect "millions" would only be part of the solution, it would escalate into 10's of millions.
