A couple of years ago they resurfaced parts of a country lane that I used regularly. plenty of advance warning but the road was not closed, just a few tight squeezes. Then, one day, on my return (it had been ok on the way out) I see a diversion sign. Not at the start of the road where a longer alternative would be OK, but right on a crossroads where the alternatives were pretty well impassable for anything bigger than a transit van.

I stop to consider the possibilities - obviously turning round -(not easy but do-able) was one, but then a guy in a white hat wanders over. We have a little chat and he says that I should get through OK, but try not to run any of (his) workers over. Off I go at walking pace and stop several times to be jeered at good humouredly while they moved their machinery, and then onwards. No one (not even a small boy) injured and everyone happy.

There is no reason why these people should be hostile unless you were the umteenth truck to make the same mistake that day - in which case someone needed to check that the local scrotes hadn’t sold their signs for scrap.

What was a cricket umpire doing there :question:
