You know you’re getting old when you remember the road sweepers, not the modern lorry, but the man with the little cart, brush and shovel

As a kid every village had a roadman, usually an old codger with his shovel and barrow. Drains were kept clear, footpaths swept and verges cut back so water could run off. Biggest screwup out the councils dropping them. Blocked/ overgrown drains have caused flooding, the roadsides are breaking up and overgrown and footpaths are the same.

There's an old guy round our way who spends time every day trimming footpaths & hedges & cleaning out ditches. He's just a guy in his 80s now, does it all for nowt & in all weather's. Does it just for the pleasure of seeing his village looking tidy. |
