If I am just clearing a short walkway, as most people will be doing,
then "yes". Seriously.

Well, we are doing more than a short walkway!!!

| effort. I would *not* want to scrub it with a stiff broom!!!!!!!

Perhaps you need more exercise :-)

Oh God . . . not *more* exercise
An me wi mi dickie ip an orl (

Not usually, because I wear boots in winter! I don't like the cold
much.

Is cold worse than holly leaves and brambles?

Gods, YES! This horrible climate. Shudder.

Actually, the combination is worst. Cold feet lose sensation and
damage very easily.

Unless you are opposed to using chemicals, use something known as
hypo -
I think its correct name is sodium hypochlorite, but don't quote me.
A
very dilute solution watered on to the drive should keep it clear of
moss.

Be very careful if asking for that by the name 'hypo', many people would
think of Sodium Thiosulphite, well known as 'hypo' in photography
circles. Almost all commercially available bleaches are Sodium
hypochlorite, so anyone of those, diluted, will work, I just used to
water it on and leave it to dry and soak in.
