Yes it's been done, the right hand side of the street first, round the block, then up the left hand side, around 11 a.m. You should find a 2 inch wide yellow spray-paint spot on the kerb next to your nearest gully, to show it's cleaned and working.

Mother Nature in her bounty usually provides some handy free tools as well.

Perfect timing by mother nature then, this morning's downpour will have cleared even more of that particular grating, at least.
