Apparently there's a cold blast from Russia coming over the next few days so heads up to anyone concerned about elderly/infirm relatives and friends in the impending cold snap, instead of spending money on grit for icy paths etc, (unused!) cat litter does exactly the same job and is a hell of a lot cheaper and you normally get much more in a bag too. Even the supermarket's cheap 'value' brands do the job.
