    They say that on any Goverment contract material charged to you from B&Q is £100 but on a government contract it is £1,000

          People would just drive straight over the middle of that around here.
          As it is we have some with grass in the middle and it's not unusual for tyre tracks through the middle.

            Good article about the damage the billionaire class is doing to democracy. It couldn’t happen if the media was not complicit …

              Trump's celebratory ranting taking over the news. Oh well - never mind - at least one war ( Russia/Ukraine ) has only another 24 hours to go according to him !!!

                  Not to worry @pete - I don't think Putin realised there was a "war" going on either - just some kind of military exercise. Be cheaper if he'd just joined his local Gym :biggrin:

                    Channel hopping, I have accidentally happened on the ceremony. It seems everyone is standing ... for hrs. Now, these are elderly folk, infirm in body (and bladder), so I am wondering how Trump waffling on for an age is going to be received. A few interruptions for the St John's Ambulance US equivalents to rescue the fallen maybe. ;) Could become entertaining in its own way, with the sound muted obviously. :biggrin:

                      I've just switched his monotone diatribe off.
                      Would have been more interesting and over quicker if they'd left it outside.

                        SMS's from our Doctor's surgery asking for us to do a survey about their service.again. Would be a damn sight better if they concentrated more on treating illness and less on surveys.

                          Not only infirm in body and bladder but brain too if standing for hours just to listen to Trump ranting and raving and cheering him on in his fantasies.
                          Obviously the St Johns Ambulance service doesn't deal with mental issues otherwise Trump would be the first one to be carted off :biggrin:

                            That's exactly what happens @pete as you can see from the cars on it. There doesn't seem to be any priority of right of way either. I've driven over/through it once.
