My increasingly stiff bad back means that I can't be as civically minded as in the past and clear the pavement outside our house - confined myself to clearing our drive to enable me to drive the car up out of it. In this I was assisted by a kind neighbour with a type of shovel I've never seen before - nearly a metre wide, shaped like a dustpan with a sort of sharp underlip, but with a long handle. Very efficient for clearing snow - does anyone know what it's called or who sells them? I might invest in one for future use.
