"My sister, Deborah, in Bristol, has just sent me this little cameo of a story that seems to encapsulate the best and the worst of British people in the snow. A pastiche in the British war film genre?.... but someone forgot to insert the generic brain cell making it more Pythonesque?
From my sister:
"More snow here as well. We've just been watching a man clearing snow off the bottom end of our road (first of all with a recycling box and then with a shovel that a neighbour lent him) and piling it all onto ... the pavements, or in front of other cars..... and right outside that neighbour's gate (with her shovel), and then she gave him a cup of tea.
That's what I call great British spirt!
Deborah""
