did mine yesterday and thought of the good old days when we all did it as a matterof course when the snow first fell then it didnt leave icy patches. Our road surface is a sheet of ice and cars go along at 3 mph (good thing...) If we had each cleared our bit of street of loose snow the first day, it wouldn't have compacted in the middle into ice...

Made me smile - I did exactly the same!

Looks like the workmen removed lots of the ice on that bit of pavement (nice one workmen) and the rest's just been hand salted and gritted.

I cleared away the ice and snow not just from my front garden but also the area directly outside my house and the elderly gentleman who lives next door (he didnt ask, but thanked me later). I agree that is a respectful and decent thing to do, and it certainly helps local councils out so they dont have any excuse for waste disposal not to come round and collect my bins for x number of weeks.

My car got stuck in the ice this afternoon and skidded down the hill. It was pretty scary having no control of the car and a baby in the back. My neighbours came running out...and then another guy who recently moved in near me...they shovelled for ages - over an hour - to get rid of the ice to enable me to get my car parked in its space.


Actually that's a lie. I was too scared to park my car myself and begged the neighbour to do it for me, which he did. I am very grateful to them.


But actually I am very angry with the council for not gritting my road. Surely this should have been done as a matter of course?

      Agree.  They also send emails out saying when they’ve received it and on day of delivery say what time in a three hour gap to expect it.

      I have been doing a lot of posts and liking a lot - to see if we are rate limited. It appears we are to some extent, with "likes". How do people manage to get into the mid 20,000's of posts on here? That is some commitment.

      I have not. Both things are true.

      I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community. Spartacus thank you. Although you should probably find something else  more interesting to occupy your time; my energy for this is rapidly deflating. It won't disappear and I will get it done (once I work out which AI and which parameters to use) but it might not happen for a while. I saw your comment on the PIP thread; you have to use your single worst day to apply. Being bravely determined not to be defeated (a quality most normal people find admirable and honourable) means your claim can easily be rejected or at least made difficult. "I will get up, I will walk to the shop, I will cook". Those are the tests you have to make clear you only ever fail at. Sorry but its the truth. I wish you good luck with it.
