You're one of them aren't you

It's always the Council 's fault if there are leaves on the ground, ice on the pavement , etc .
Of course it is. Every so often they need to be reminded what they should be doing.
Earlier in the year I had to remind them that they should be cutting the grass verges along our road. They did it once. Haven't see them since.

Now I mow the verge outside mine and the neighbour's houses.
