Horror in Nottingham

[Deleted member 23692]

I work for a highways authority, and it's stuff like this that shines a ray of comedy sunlight on an otherwise mundane day.

It also reinforces my theory that older people exist to give younger people things to do

I'm very disappointed. Where is the photo of said couple looking grumpy next to the grass? Preferably holding a ruler?

Shoddy. shoddy work.

The York Press once reported a tea towel catching fire after being left on a hob. Apparently the owner put the fire out before the brigade arrived, and the tea towel was slightly damaged. Best local story ever....

Best foreign news too here in Leeds.

Fu*king tarmac it. That'll teach em.

Imagine the torment and anguish if the two councils used different colours or grades of tarmac

Some people will just mown about anything.

I got snowed in in Ullapool, and spent a couple of evenings in the pub....

On my first night I was met by the greeting "He's wearing a hat"

Apparently the highlight of the local crime was a man had been snooping around the house of a young lady. The description had been a man lurking suspiciously and wearing a hat!

As a result anyone who walked in the pub wearing a hat was being (jokingly) treated as a suspect by the locals

It just wouldn't be local press without some complete nonstories though!

Just think how depressing it must be for the journalists writing them.

Probably never occurred to them they could mow it themselves in what maybe 5, 10 minutes tops? Part of the problem or part of the solution.
