Due to the Brittany Ferries dispute, a week or so ago we found oursleves travelling back to Oxfordshire from Dover late at night via the M25 etc.

Virtually all the roads has flashing speed restrictions and dire warning of lane closures and admonitions that there was WORKFORCE IN ROAD. Each time after about four or five miles of this, we passed a solitary lorry with a bored person unloading cones. We never actually saw anybody doing anything.

Sigh.

Same scenario on the western bypass around Newcastle just about every night - miles of cones and very little evidence of any activity.

When the kids were small we used to play 'Spot the Workman'. Still play it myself but don't see many. Cheers Concrete

The M62 has had cones out for years with Bob the builder sometimes working.

I just wish I had had the forethought years ago to invest heavily in Cones (UK) Ltd. I'd have made a killing.
