I don't think it will take as long as 3 years, i'd say more like 2 normal UK winters will do the trick..say about 18months....no one to clear out the road gutters, mend the roads, remove fallen trees and the like, pretty soon without human intervention both the countryside and cities will revert to mother nature, first weeds, then scrub then trees, eventually forests will re emerge.

Another winter like the last one and the potholes will become mantraps!

In many parts of the Northern hemisphere many organisations have to go around doing things like knocking huge sodding great icicles off power lines and bridges and from the gutters of sky scrapers.

Many structures have to be heated up by built in deicing kit most winters to prevent serious structural damage.

Up here if it were not for snow ploughs many roads with be closed for up to 4 months in a bad year.

some warmer southern counties require almost constant attention from highways teams to stop plants from covering roads such as country lanes in one season, tree canopies that can reach over roads in one summer.

Mother nature is just waiting to stick it to the unwary after TSHTF.

They already are in some places up here!
