an appeal to get your drains sorted out

I wish other people would get off their backsides to do drain clearing. I do the storm drain near me several times a year, my house is safe btw but so many people wait for other people to clear the drains of leaves and detritus. It never happened in the old days, community spirit was alive and these jobs got done, no-one had to be asked

I did my storm drain 3 days ago, kneeling on a kneeler, dustpan and brush, rubber gloves and a trowel. Also cleared all detritus that might flow in with rain, down the communal turning area.

Infoman, your post and thread is very timely and spot on
