Oof

Oof

There are lives yet to be conceived that will be in the world before those roadworks are finished.

 

[Miles Away]

40 ****ing weeks....which actually means 3 years.

 

[Lako42]

I always find it ****ing depressing how bad we are in this country at building and infrastructure projects.

I was in Vietnam in October and driving on roads as they were being resurfaced, was incredible.

 

[Volpone]

Seems about half the people on here have been to Vietnam. Is it the new Thailand? No wonder King Power have lost a lot of worth.

Leicester is an awful city for it. The A6 has roadworks on it for 52 weeks to build one small roundabout.

No wonder HS2 was ****ed from the start.

Some of us remember when it was commonplace in this country. And then H&S came to the fore.

 

[Payne74]

Same as when there's an RTA on the roads in Europe they just drag everything out of the way and crack on.

The plastic highways here have to shut every road in a 10 mile radius for a puncture, then have the matrix signs given out incorrect information 25 miles afterwards usually with a speed limit of 40mph especially by the cameras

 

[popillius]

I remember when it was all fields round here.

Boc doesn't.

Boc remembers when those fields were full of dinosaurs.

Don't blame workers wanting to get home safely on the historic under investment by successive governments

I don't think I did.

 

[FOX Franks]

Don't blame workers wanting to get home safely on the historic under investment by successive governments

I think you’ll find it was all Labour’s fault in 2001, no one else

 

[Joe_Fox]

Let's just get one thing clear. Health and Safety is not by any stretch of the imagination a bad thing. The application of it is the problem.

 

[jb5000]

The application of it is the problem.

As someone who spends a lot of time on construction site I'd love to know - how?
