Theres a little public area at the bottom of my road - Little bench and paved area - Nothing special, but it's there nonetheless.

Council are supposed to tend to it, but of course they don't... A huge load of brambles have grown up covering the paved area, and large clumps of weeds are sprouted, both sides of the bench...

One of my neighbours put a note through everyone's doors the other day - 'Come on everyone - Let's get together and tidy it up! Many hands make light work - Bring gardening gloves, tools and green waste bins and lets tidy it up! Meet there, Saturday Morning 9.30'

Well, fair enough, but I'm genuinely busy on that morning with prior engagements, so I decided to take the clearing of the brambles, the most unsightly part of the job, into my own hands, and crack on and do it myself.

So there I am, quite happily cutting, pruning and sawing the brambles, into manageable lengths into a neat pile for disposal. - Plus Im making a pretty good job of it to, even if I say so myself....

During the time I'm doing it, (I was there for well over an hour) about 20 people in total walked past me - Nearly every single one of them stopped and said...

You don't wanna do that mate - SOMEONE'S GOING TO DO IT ON SATURDAY ANYWAY...

& it just makes me wonder - Who do they think is going to do it on Saturday? The bloke who wrote the note is in his late 80s... All these people who are telling me 'Someone's going to do it Saturday' are the people who have been ASKED to do it Saturday...

But they all seem to think SOMEONE ELSE is going to do it...

Anyway, at least its done - I just don't get some people.
