Title: Goverment Efficiency
Post by: tunnie on 27 April 2009, 15:46:16
I work on Shaftesbury Avenue, London, for the past year they have been replacing drains, water pipes, re-surfacing road, new bus lanes and pedestrian crossing.

All done about 2 months ago, good i thought, ready for the summer.  8-)

Looking out the window, what have they just offloaded? One of those machines that shreads the road ready for resurfacing!  >:(

The words Government and Efficiency do not belong in the same sentence!!!!!  I have done a few spellls for Queen, Country and Parliament and speak from bitter experience !!!!

If they are gonna resurface it again after only 2 months.....there must be a reason  ;)

For example......incorrect type of tarmac used first time round  ::)

I kid you not, a road was resurfaced near me, about a mile long, last year. It took them a week or so. Month later they were redoing it.
I asked a more local resident why? Answer she was told, was the surface was too smooth and too slippy in the wet  ::)
