York council builds fence through goalposts

:yess:

 

Orders is orders, John. They wuz told to put a fence froo there and that's wot they did. No one sed nothing about goal posts.

Afterwards, the same contractors probably got into their van, set their satnav and faithfully followed its instructions to drive into the North Sea.

 

Oh ..... my ....... goodness - how could they be so stupid?

 

The contractors must have been contracted from outside Yorkshire....!

 

Many years have passed since proper builders were around...

Great Idea ,That will do for me.:WINK1:. Cut the Scottish goal in Half, and we may qualify for
THE WORLD CUP:D.

 

I bet the council planners just drew a line on the map for where the fence should go. And I bet also that their contractors have long since learned not to bother telling the councils how silly some of their plans are, because that would mean many months of being passed from pillar to post by the many bureacrats. By extension, I also bet that the contractors, when asked to do something silly, just do it, knowing full well that it will be the council in question that gets all the mockery and not them.

I'd do it if I was the foreman of the contactors. And when one of the lads came to me and pointed out the flaw in the plan, I'd just laugh and say 'I know'. Then when the job was done, the lads and I would drive away having a good chuckle to ourselves, before having a good laugh about it down the pub after work.
