Posh by Scally standards or more generally accepted ones?

The only council property round here is the town hall, and we would lynch anyone who threw a Waitrose trolley in the Kennet and Avon.

Just come back from Chester along and through these road works, and I use the word WORK extremely loosely. evil:
1 bloody mile of thousands of cones, narrow lanes, slow moving traffic, and NOT one single Transit works van with the customary fat Irish slob sitting there in his blackened H&S HV jacket, feet on dashboard reading last weeks yellowed copy of The Sport in one grubby mit, massive metal cup of whiskey tainted tea in the other. Banghead
Absolutely NO action odf any description whatsobloody ever.

CCC West road maintainance, happy001 dept are going to be receiving a bloody irate phone call from me, useless werk shy bastards. cussing:

Closed due to gross weary motorist tiredness and apathy.

Did you see that Lord Adonis, one of Labour?s unelected ministers, found himself marooned in a five-hour traffic jam on the approach road to London?s Blackwall Tunnel...?

I bet it certainly is a raging HOT line too ey JOM?

That number isn't displayed at our local roadnowerks, but can I still ring it and rant, hurl and vent my frustration at them?
I bet they just put their feet and earpiece on the table and roll their eyes....another screamer. ::)

You can ring it if you want Growler, but if you had a problem with your local Ford dealership, would you ring the Renault one and have a rant at them instead?

Yesterday, 1 mile, 1000 cones, 1 van, and 1 man raking some freshly dumped soil on the hedge side of the new freshly tarmaced pavement. ::)
Chaos and ques all around this poor individual, but he's no doubt been primed to ignore all the abuse that's being hurled at him.
Only a further 4 weeks of this utter utter utter utter ludicrousy to go. Banghead
