I didn't need my little shovel in the end (good job as the only one I have is from the companion set) but threw a bag of dishwasher salt along the garden path in order that the postman and housekeeper don't slip over and sue me - it was bl**dy slippery in London this morning.
Apparently, if you attempt to grit/salt a pavement in or around your property and someone still falls over, you are liable. If you DON'T grit the pavement and someone falls over, they can't sue you! It's madness!
