A lot of people have suggested this site is subtly different from HJ's. Perhaps it is, but judging by the posts in this thread, especially the ones pointing out that when people are run in for speeding thy have only themselves to blame, it is exactly the same.
Roadwork cones and cages with nothing going on inside them have become one of the themes of modern Britain. Two weeks ago we moved out of a large house after 36 years, with all the clobber and hassle that implies, and some extra owing to my own inefficiency and reluctance to move with the times. Our council was given ample warning and asked for parkers for moving vans etc. Two weeks before our move the whole parking bay was caged in ostensibly for waterworks under the road, third time in two years. The council said sorry, waterworks take precedence.
The cages stayed until after we had moved and after the new owners had moved in. No work of any description was carried out in that time. People often criticise me for swearing all the time but it seems perfectly reasonable to me.
