They are due to start roadworks on that stretch, ooh, two weeks ago, so perhaps it's in anticipation of that? Completely pointless if so, it's very rare on a morning or evening to be able to travel much above walking pace on that stretch anyway, stick roadworks in and it just isn't going to happen!

That having been said, I'm a Maintenance Engineer, not a Traffic one. They are a totally different breed of people who seem to have no concept of practicality. We have a motto on our office door that goes "You stop messing about with it and we'll make it right." Sums it all up really.

Olivia's heading towards 11 now and, if I'm not quick enough with a big stick, would still be grabbing them off the shelves! Exactly how many are there??!! A belated happy birthday to Big.
