The Snow in Surrey lasts longer than in Sussex!

It was almost Arctic in Surrey this morning.  And Yes!  It was me that cleared this pavement of snow.  Why don't we follow the German practice of clearing snow outside our properties and banish the UK urban myth of being sued if you clear it and someone falls over? 
Wake up UK!  The English are rather insular in their thinking.  Think about the "Big Society" and clear your own roads and pavements, as happened here.

 Meanwhile, in Sussex, my rubbish bin was rather beautifully decorated by a hardy spider, don't you think?
