Well..I must say that this is a subject that has never really interested me.. except if they have caused problems, but have been totally astonished at the work that has been going on over the last 2 days outside my
house.. in Wordsley. Re-surfacing.
Everything seems to have fitted in place, the machinery is fantastic!! and this from a Granny...who at times is stuck in the past!!
My Grandad's occupation was described as a "gas labourer" on my Mom's baptismal record in 1928. I know this involved the laying of pipes...all shovel work then!!!

Re: Road works
Can you send them over here when they are done? We have lots and lots of holes in the roads.

Re: Road works
Same here, the bit of tarmac outside our house hasn't been replaced for the last 20 years or so. There used to be a level crossing (and a railway ), and the white stop line is still just about visible!
