Have to agree with this one, and it's not just in Ratby either.
On the subject of lollipop men and women, I can understand the need for them where children are expected to cross busy roads, but why does the council, or whoever employs them, have to stick them at a crossing that has traffic signals. I know most of you won't believe me, but I'm not going to ignore the red light because school is either starting or finishing.
Worse still, the guy who stands outside of South Wigston High School and whatever primary school it is there, also likes to wave drivers on after the kids/thick adults have finished crossing. Quite often whilst the lights are still on red. Why? Seriously. Why?
There's one in Coventry who just comes across the road with no clear markings of it being a crossing. I swear she's just a nutjob. Zebra crossings are surely the only practical place for them.
