You own the street outside your property? Feck me, why bother with the furniture, why not just shoot the cars, and their owners, with your metal manhoods? No one owns the street outside their property except in a few cases (including mine) where it's a private drive shared with a few homes. People still put chairs out when they do not have driveways, and spend a considerable amount of time clearing the street. Usually other people honor that, but the law does not require them to. In some places (Boston, for one) a call to the city will get the refuse collectors out to haul away the chairs. Fights have indeed arisen over this, and I'll even say that people have probably, somewhere, unlimbered their shooting irons - although I do not recall any specific incidents. In a few days we'll celebrate Thanksgiving, and the news will then feature at least one story of a dinner table stabbing. What can I say, we're violent over here. Europe and the UK have been tame for centuries; over here, it's only been about 125 years. We're much closer to our violent ancestors than you are. That has been both beneficial and detrimental. As I type this, it is sleeting outside my house. |

As I type this, it is sleeting outside my house. Much the same here, the motorways and major 'A' roads are managed by the government Highway Agency, other roads and pavements are the responsibility of the local council authorities. I have two cars, one in the garage at the back of the house and the other on the street outside the house. In the event of enough snow to have to clear it to get the car out, well frankly, I don't, if it's that bad I'll walk to the shops or take public transport. If I did clear the snow and remove the car, I wouldn't expect the space to be there on my return. My car is only outside my house because, being retired, I can put it there during the daytime when other people take theirs to work, otherwise it's just a case of getting as near as you can. We don't generally get violent over such things, we tend to save our aggression for Friday nights when the pubs chuck the drunks out, or 'needle' football matches. As I type this when are just having our first named storm of the season, 'Angus', and we're expecting 80 mph winds and local flooding here on the coast.  |

Crimean War, Franco-Prussian War, WWI, WWII & that business in Ireland. The continent was tamed. There wasn't a constant need to survive, which frequently involved violence, that existed during the United States' western expansion. |

Canada needs to keep that cold air up there. I don't ask much from it, but this, I'd like it to do!  |
