surely there is no man alive that hasn’t had a night out on the lash…woken up the next day with no idea of getting home,wondering where the smell of dogs pish is coming from,checking out you haven’t peed the bed,then noticing the traffic cone lying in the corner of the bedroom,then realising you were wearing it on the way home. then going downstairs,and finding the temporary traffic lights in the living room,:oops:
When I was at uni, one of my friends woke up to find one of those automated traffic barriers in his room.
Oh Uni yar, ok cool cool [emoji38] [emoji38] [emoji38]
wheres me rizzlas,im dying to skin up man…gosh…save the planet…rebel without a clue…ive got a ,I brake for whales sticker on my rowing skiff…ffs…the only way your normal truckie goes to uni,is if they get a job as a janitor…
Went to Ascot yar? Had tickets for the pimms tent. Long story short. Got abs hammered. Went home and buggered the labrador. Had to miss classes I was soooo hungover. [emoji237] [emoji470]
Most of the gigs/venues I do will cone off the loading dock for trucks.
General public seems to think that loading bay only means free parking. Already had one car towed away by the police for completely blocking a loading dock.
I make a courtesy call every day to tomorrow’s gig and politely ask them to cone off my parking position!

then you get knobs like this , who insist they have to make a delivery hence why they ignored the signs for road closed ,but don’t know the address of the non existent house
But if the closure had been correctly set up he would not be able to get up the road in the first place.
and he was coming the other way. The road was obviously not “closed”
do you not think it might be “closed” for a reason-perhaps to allow the blokes working there the space to do the bloody job?
we have a job like this at the moment in park st ,near st albans.everybody still comes up or down the road despite a half dozen road closed /access only signs at each end,and a diversion in place.then they get the hump when they find a lorry blocking the “closed” road.
a little tip-if it says “road closed” then its best to assume that it really is ffs
Well said , the problem lies with having to allow access to genuine people ,residents etc ,so most of the time you cannot fully block the road off at one end , even then you still get them come through as did this one despite us trying to stop him as there was nowhere to turn around , still made a nice reverse for him

Ah seeing those Docwra hoardings, why do they leave traffic lights up once they’ve finished? They caused chaos last week near Witney, hole filled in but couldn’t be arsed to turn the lights off. Of course nobody had the sense to turn the lights away from the traffic (you could’ve got by there were no cones left, the lights were awaiting collection).
heres another tip…if it says …road closed… then theres a good chance the signs are there because the indifferent laborours cant be bothered to take the signs down again as its not their job,so leave them till someone else takes them down,assuming the local scallywags havent put them back up again just for the fun of it…its always worth the gamble after 4pm anyway
I saw huge fella the other day. He lined up in front of a cone,and then WHAM!! He smashed into it and went forwards and backwards over it like a man possessed.
I get wound up when I see temporary traffic lights because they’re digging up the pavement, and they’ve made a temporary pathway with cones in the road. Whatever happened to the “use other footpath” signs they used to put out?

not anymore with massive fines for not adhering to what the stipulations/notice from the local council .
you take your chance when it says road closed.good luck.
Muckaway tarmac is probably 360mm deep will take a good time to go off ,most of the time we also clear as much of the chapter 8 as possible ,so when the lights do come down it can be done quickly , we now have signs to state that it is reinstatement curing ,as its a common complaint

That grab/mixer chassis Docwra have is a good bit of kit. Adds cement to their ■■■■■■■■ to make a tough backfill. I used to move muck out of Kidlington depot and they only threw away the muckiest muck.

not allowed to use them any more , the blame and claim culture in the uk has put an end to that , the same as the “footpath closed cross here” signs

Yes because they are a lot of use to visually impaired/blind people or people on mobility scooters

I thought you had chilled out since getting your new " steady " job Nathan. Pressure’s not building up again is it mate ?

P222:
If you just catch the base with half an inch of the outer drive tyre, it spits them sideways about a meter and a half… Not that I enjoy doing it or anything…
One moment I really wish I’d got on camera was doing that to a cone at a delivery, it spat it out at speed, bounced off the kerb and landed back in pretty much the place it started, as if nothing had happened.
