Walking around yesterday it was depressing to see how many people had cleared the entrance to their drive ins of snow but not the pavements outside their house.

Just as a few locals continued (or at least tried) to drive up and down (in practice slide uncontrollably down) our steepest roads no matter how bad the conditions, it seems that some drivers think that they have a God given right to drive whatever and whenever.

Not a good start for the Big Society.
