me and my mate phil
when we were younger (maybe 12/13) in winter would go around the old peoples bungalows round where we lived and clear the snow and ice from their paths. We didn't ask for money, they'd sometimes bring us a mince pie, but we did it to keep the old dears safe.
One of them wrote to the local paper to say that not all kids are mischievous, and thank us.
My mum kept the paper clipping.

"my mum fixed the paper clipping..."
...and promised to let us have a week off from being followed around by a team of snipers with orders to shoot off our testicles if we didn't bow and scrape to our elders and betters for being such good boys.

I was responsible for some kids doign this a couple of eyars ago
Lots of snow nad they were looking for more. I suggested that if they knocked and houses and asked if they could clear the driveways they would a) get tons of snow and b) maybe get rewards from the ncier neighbours. They made £27 and a lovely igloo that lasted for a week after the snow had gone.
