Good Value?
Now, if I told you that two fellas had called on me and told me they had a bit of tarmac left over from a job; would I like my drive tarmacing? You wouldn't be surprised if the result was like in the photo below.
Regrettably, this is a photo of the bridge over the motorway on Thurlaston Lane and the work was, presumably, supervised by the Local Authority. Given year on year tax increases, way above the rate of inflation, you'd think that the Authorities would ensure that we get good value for money - lads, it's a lovely smooth surface but it's got a big dip in the middle!
Many thanks to Pete Davies for the photo.
