The whistl driver made a bit of a prick of himself 
That foremanâs attitude didnât help.
The driver said the two lads had let him thru , paddy was a bit of a â â â â . mind you never know how they edit the footage on these TV programmes .
To be honest if the driver wasnât acting the clever â â â â he may well have been let through if. Sometimes backing down and admitting youâre wrong and holding your hands up can get you further than wanting to fight and argue all the time
Trouble is its all too common to ignore the signs , this one had to go around the island off the roundabout the wrong side to get past the closure ,ignored us trying to wave him down , shame he had a long reverse

I watched an episode a couple of weeks ago and it showed a guy filling a hole (which was full half filled with water) with tarmac. Thatâs fixed that hole for a good few months - maybe

I was involved with night time resurfacing on and off for several years and the words âRoad Closedâ sadly only seemed to apply to the majority of the public but not all. 
There was usually some plonker/s who would try to get through the barriers, or of course the classic situation where you were turning into the works access with beacons etc flashing away and a line of cars would folow you in and then encounter a foot drop into the actual working area! All manner of problems then ensued getting them back on track again, sometimes with a bent exhaust or steering arms, damaged tyres etc and bright red faces

Scary part for me is that they all supposedly have a full driving licence & a pair of eyesâŚ[emoji15][emoji15]
Perhaps if the hi vis kings ,stopped playing to the cameras and actually got on with a bit of work . . .
Just watched the 1st episode.
No wonder our roads are in such a s-h-i-t state, taking years & years to resurface.
1st night on the job, the Traffic Management/Cone Monkeys turn up 2 hours late !
2nd night half the Tar Tippers are a ton light, calling for an extra couple of loads from 70 miles away, delaying the job another couple of hours & the Numpty whoâs in charge of the Tarmac was laughing about it (on camera)
What hope have we got for the M1, M6, M5, A1, A46, Kingston Roundabout in Milton Keynes-blah blah blah-to ever be finished ?
Were the tippers light, or did the customer expect them to carry 20t? Most builders call 8wheelers â20tonnersâ but if they read what they sign for theyâd see theyâre carrying 19 but still upto their gross weight.

Im sure that I heard the man in charge say that a load of tippers were at 19 tons, he should have known the net weights & worked out how many loads he needed, & ordered an extra load, (especially as the job was time sensitive) ââ â â â Poor Planningâ comes to mind.
Fail to Plan=Plan to Fail. (Sounds a bit like our Traffic Office, lol)

How did he fill a hole which was full half filled? A diagram will suffice!

Maybe it was half of a hole?
