    Every day on my way to work I pass a cinema on a corner of the road and most days the window cleaner has been working on their plate-glass frontage. This cinema is right on the pavement so no access via a car park or anything. Consequently I (and many others) have to walk over a wet pavement redolent with soap suds. I nearly said something this morning when I saw it because we're having hard frosts now and I'm sure someone is going to slip on the ice slick that will appear one morning!
    I think I love you. First you correct my spelling and now I see you use hyphens in the correct place and might have a bigger vocabulary than I do.

      Only downside is she might work in health and safety

          I'm sure the risk assessment would be fun

            It gets better. The daft old runt has gritted the bit just outside his house. Well you wouldn't want any one to slip and fall outside your house eh? Obviously the slick he's created down the road isn't his problem.

            20 mins 'til school run time. Could be fun!

              Are you going to "nearly say something" or tell the old git where to get off?

                It's legally better to not clear your driveway of ice and snow than to clear it. This is because if you clear it and someone slips and injures themselves anyway they can sue you for being negligent in your actions. If you don't clear it then they have no action against you as the danger is apparent and the risk taken by walking on it is taken by the person who got injured.

                  What should I do? Am half tempted to stick my head out of the window and shout "What the flip are you doing?"

                    I haven't correct your (or anyone else's) spelling for ages now. Unfortunately I can't help being pedantic - I even text in best english - it's the way I was brought up.
