Our so called Dutch roundabout may not actually be a proper one, looking at it. Basically it's just made it very difficult to change lanes on the roundabout if you approach it in the wrong lane. It's a motor way roundabout, so no pedestrians but if you don't know the thing it's very easy to get stuck in the wrong lane and ending up on a motorway when you don't want to. I've never liked this obsession they have with writing where each lane is going on the road. It's pointless in heavy traffic as it's all parked on the writing.
Apparently she was told she should have put it in a bin, but I thought you couldn't tip liquids in those.
What about all the police officers that tip booze down the drain from the young and in the no drinking zone's
Just read in my Kitchen Garden magazine you can buy an Allen Wildhorn 40 cordless pruning sheer for £599. However it does come with a holster, a belt and battery pouch, plus a heavy-duty carrying case. Is anyone mad enough to spend this kind of money on this sort of thing?
The problem with putting things down the gratings in the street is that they skip the sewage works and discharge straight into the river/sea in most of the UK. As it's supposed to be "clean" rainwater though anybody whose seen the sort of thing that gets spilt on roads and pavements would be somewhat surprised at that belief.
When my OH said there's been something in the news about someone being fined for putting coffee down the drain I assumed he meant the spent coffee grounds from a cafe or something, not just a bit of dregs from a cup! There's much worse ends up down street drains (late on a weekend evening would surely be the best time for those enforcement officers to be out and about looking for infringements).
Does the job title “enforcement officer” make anybody else’s hackles rise? Apparently, the council has decided not to fine her after all.
