Well, I was out and about today in town.  I thought that I would go to the shops and buy a few things for the small gathering we are having at the weekend.

I drove down canal street near morrisons and saw that they were digging up the road; not that bad, I thought to myself, but when I got around the corner it seemed like there was roadworks everywhere.  Some were the waterboard digging up to lay new pipes, others were BT workmen fixing some new cables (I think) to the telephone poles and some others were the council relaying some of the flags outside booths.

Now, don’t get me wrong, we need improvements in the small town of ours, but should we really allow al of these workers to dig up the pavement and road on the same day – they have vans that block the road, which generally are one person workman, and they aren’t really concerned for pedestrians either.

This type of nonsense just gets me upset and annoyed at why companies don’t talk to people.  It may have been a weekday and was early in the morning, but that shouldn’t mean that you have so many workmen on one piece of road making a rakcet and a mess of things. I know that they have a job to do and am not saying that they should be prevented from doing this, but should they be really looking at it in this way.

Like young kids today I blame their parents, whilst these workers I blame their bosses.  People who stay in their offices all day and don’t bother to get off their backsides and take alook at what is really happening – but things are changing for the better apparently.
