In the interest of balance did anyone else see the BBC footage of a group of "elder" residents shovelling an inch of snow off the local pavements and so leaving a nice hard wet surface to freeze in the coming hours? "Taking responsibility for our own area" says the gang leader as he slips and slides on his recent effort whilst walking alongside the reporter who was wise enough to keep on the lying snow. And they say wisdom comes with age.

I you old Dodgers, with your suspect memory can't recall WBC Councillors getting into big trouble on nationwide tv a few years back. You cannot will not be prosecuted for clearing your frontage. Civic responsibility, West Berkshire? No, not from the greed is good' brigade round here.
