The wonders of modern technology

[Ragged Robin]

Just had to share the wonderous sight I've just witnessed:-
 Local council have just passed by, gritting the road, a major bus route into the centre of London; using the up to date method of two men kicking the stuff of the back of a rubbish collection truck.

......and they want to increase council tax?
............I suppose they're making the effort!

oooooooooooo........Essex must be really technical then!  We have bright yellow lorries with a skip and a kinda sprinkler affair on the back and it sprays grit all over the road, parked cars, plants and pedestrians!  There will be no ice forming on me this evening - thats Chelmsford Council!  :-/

Want to hear a good one?

One of my local councils a couple of days a go wne tout gritting in prep for freeze. Ok fine good for them on the ball and everything.

The nicely gritted roads were then swept clean of grit by a street cleaning team a couple of hours later!

Talk about the right hand not knowing what the left was doing.

(OK to be fair I think one was county the other district, but you'd of thought there'd be some liason wouldnt you?)

Liaison Richard!  Think we know by now, left hand never knows what right is doing! ;D ;D ;D

Sometimes think cartload of monkeys would do better!
