Coffee Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Saw a lot of men who were obviously from some office rather then workers with highway writen on their yellow jackets wondering along the street and eventually having a conference while stood around. Anyone know of any plans for the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Maybe they are the gas pipe workers laying new lines who were round here for a long time as they seem to have gone and filled in their holes at long last. I'm sure a few of them had 'highways' on their jackets but I could be wrong. Made a right mess though so I hope for Poplars Ave sakes they aren't.

Bazj Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 "Highway"? Maybe they were the annual convention of the Harry Secombe fan club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well it was such a nice day maybe they were just out to get a bit of fresh air, The high vis jackets were worn to look cool, those who work in offices all day and see them as a fashion statement and want to blend in with the crowd. The apparent meeting was to decide which pub to go to for lunch and whether they serve real ale and have a vegetarian option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Just in case you really don't know Fughts - double parking is where cars are parked on both sides of a road, reducing it to single lane traffic, and in the case of smaller streets, ensuring that emergency vehicles can't get down them.

Evil Sid Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 After exhaustive investigations I have discovered that it was a survey of the area for the viability of using it for the training of people on how to wear high vis clothing and look important whilst standing at the side of the road doing nothing. either that or an outing of the dick turpin re-enactment society and they missed the man off the lettering on the jackets.

I believe Warrington Council are now looking to employ a "Director of training people how to wear high vis clothing and look important whilst standing at the side of the road doing nothing" It does of course come with a salary in excess of £100k a year....."because that is what they would get in the private sector" said one councillor......allegedly!

Indeed. It would be an ideal opportunity for some bureaucrat or social worker who has cocked up badly elsewhere to make a fresh start cocking up in pastures new. The director of Rochdale social services springs to mind, but I'm sure the post would suit any other local government professionals who have resigned to avoid disciplinary action...

Yes the first suggestion is quite possible, I did not see a horse so it could not have been anything to do with Dick Turpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
