  Roger, the day after the snow came down, it did not freeze. The snow was easy to clear away, as I did some clearance works for relatives and neighbours with a shovel.
  
  The day after that, on the pavements of Dover it was still slushy, and easy to clear away.
  
  Had the authorities organised volunteers to clear the pavements, supplying them each with a snow-shovel, the pavements would have been clear 2 days ago. It would have meant giving some willing unemployed people some extra money in return for 8 hours work.
  
  Instead, "we haven't got any money for such massive enterprises", so we just let the snow turn to ice and sat there wathching people slip on there backside.
  
  Now the compact ice would be 50 times harder to clear away than when it was just slushy snow.
  
  You no doubt know why I did not vote at the last Council elections!
