Why is it.... (Small roadwork rant.)
Discussion
FFS
Some muppet is digging up the roundabout at the bottom of Ashley Hill. . All well and good so far, but they've decided to put three way lights there... Which causes predictable chaos through St Paul's/Werbergh's. OK, it's not an ideal situation but understandable.
What is considerably less understandable was the decision to leave the lights there overnight, apparently because there was a 2ft wide coned off area on one side of this spacious mini roundabout
I went home at 6.30 last night and it was still carnage (it took me 20 minutes to get through ST Pauls), and going in to work this morning took twice as long as normal.
Surprisingly the council website works, and I can expect this to go on for another month
Thankfully we've just completed on our house, ending our cash flow crisis and meaning I can afford a bike... (and putting me in a much better frame of mind
)

Should be.

You're too right though - the
cil do seem to be excelling themselves with roadworks and temp lights at the moment. A nice tram system like this: www.646industries.com/beyond_b/archives/2003/08/the_caen_twisto.html would help. Guess where we went on holiday?
All the more reason to sit tight in the new Chateau H, I'd have thought!

Mmmmmm, so it's the council's fault you've got to go and buy a 200mph feckoffmeganutternitrobusablade superbike then. DAZ
I've just had a look for quotes, unfortunately the feckoffmeganutternitrobusablade option is a tad pricey at £1500 or so, however I've always wanted a Triumph Speed Triple (the feckoffhooliganloonmachine option if you will) and that's a far more reasonable £536

Hmmm, on a £'s per grin basis the hooliganloon option seems a goer.

I think SWMBO is going to have a fit
You don't need to be able to be a fortune teller to guess the forthcoming explosion. Just makesure the fallout is directed towards the perps concerned, Those anticar commie barstewards at the council.
for that! He has got 3 hopes: Land of, Cape of, and Bob of avoiding that one!!
