Latest moan from me and you!!!

I have just about had my fill with the vast number of morons that are on our roads

In my area today, we have Hampton Court Flower Show, and Kempton Market; the traffic for both of these events has to use one single A-road which rapidly disappears up its own rear end, and the resulting tailback of traffic snakes back onto Sunbury Cross Roundabout (under J1 of the M3); this is where the trouble starts - people get impatient, and then start blocking the yellow boxes that are placed at the head of entry roads to the roundabout which then fairly rapidly causes a grid-lock situation where everyone is sat looking at each other unable to move because the person in front of them can't move and so it goes on around the roundabout.

In the line of my public transport duties, I ended up at Sunbury Cross to see if I could get any interest from the police to clear the congestion, and to see if there was anything I could do to help people with some local knowledge and get them off in a different direction to get them where they wanted to be. I stood for the thick end of four hours guiding people as best I could to get them out of the gridlock and away, and whilst many of them were grateful for the help, there was also a significant number that chose to simply shout abuse at me for the traffic gridlock that was taking place. I was all the effing bar-stewards under the sun, and according to some there was some sort of effing one-cure for my ailments. And why? Simply because I was wearing a hi-viz.

Yeah, the guy walking up and down the road giving alternative directions to those in need, and trying to help alleviate the congestion is the cause of the gridlock!

The best of it is, once the police arrived, the two officers and myself stopped three of the entry roads onto the roundabout for a few minutes (no more than three or four) to allow the roundabout to empty, and once we had done that the traffic started to flow quite freely.

Next time, I won't bother helping.

 

My little moan to day is these little fellows please don't blame them ,its not there fault IMHO they prevent post's being written,don't read me wrong please I do appreciate all the Likes and Agrees,Friendly's that Woo is given so please don't stop I just like conversing with you all I really do and I just wouldn't like it to disappear totally,I know I can sometimes use 30 words when 5 would do and it puts your post count up

Please there is no offense intended and if there is I apologise profusely,but if you can't say sometimes what's on your mind amongst good friends then all is lost

 

Well said, Woo . I think it's much nicer to say you like something than to just click a 'Like' symbol, but I realise that people have time constraints (some people have to work for a living ) so only have time for a click.

I had a complaint the other day. I bought two packets of Sainsbury's Oven Roasted Monkey Nuts in Shells. The packets have a sign displayed prominently on the front say 'Not Salted' - twice.

I opened up one packet, put my hand in and brought out some nuts in shells, as well as some roasted salted peanuts (not in shells)!!! I then looked at the other packet and saw that also had about a handful of roasted salted peanuts in there.

I phoned the Customer Care line and reported it. After taking all the inof from me they told me to keep the nuts and they put £5 worth of points on my Nectar Card.

Thank you, Sainsbury's.

 

Understood

 

Dear Jenny "WOW" that will do for me, you have just made an old owl very happy
