Proof that some people are in the wrong job..

the second one, the fork in the yellow line, takes me back to when they'd relaid the tarmac along my street and were painting the road markings... one bloke with a leaf blower, followed by another with the line marker thing. Leaves were blown out of gutter area ready for the double yellows to go down a moment later, but every time a car went past, some leaves were blown back into the gutter area and covered in hot paint... they look quite nice.

I’m sure you can find many examples and you see them every day.
There are some road works just up the road from me where they are digging a storm gutter closing the road. A printed sign is displayed with an arrow and the word DIVISION. Rather sad really.

What we need is a suitably qualified government minister to ensure things like this can never happen

Well qualified government minister. 😍😁🤣😂😆 Given the way they're managing so far, that will be a very long wait.

Northern Electric [or whatever they call themselves this week] dug up the pavement outside our house with a channel cut across the road to replace electric cables for the new school being built [that's another story].

They carefully dug trenches extending across the open space to the road beyond. Took them 3 days.

Left the trenches open for 2 weeks and then returned to fill them in with new tarmac and levelled and grass seeded the open space.
Two months later they dug it all out again as they'd not actually put the cables in the trenches. Filled it all in again, this time less well, leaving uneven path and unseeded rough ground.

Last week cam back and dug it all out again... they'd laid the right cables but not joined them up to the existing ones....

The bottom one is a reminder to drink plenty of water

That sounds like the contractor doing the work for Virgin Broadband.

The gas main only crosses under the road three times, they hit it twice. They also hit the gas mains under the pavements, causing properties to be evacuated. They hit the power lines, phone lines and water mains.

The created a fair bit of extra work for others. If only they checked before they dug.

That's pretty good compared to this one:

At the end of Stapleton Road (once dubbed by David Blunkett as one of the most dangerous in the country) in Bristol, there is a very short bus lane taking you over the ring road. It used to read 'Buss Lane' but got corrected.
