cheeky boy Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 It's a snip compared to the cost of useless roundabouts, giant flashing road signs, traffic lights which have to be removed after a year and my particular favourite, the pedestrian crossing to Mc Donalds that we paid a fortune for What a great idea, spend taxpayers money on making it safer for our kids to become obese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I could put handy little snippets of information at the bottom of the Richmond, which are a damn sight better than "Be Safe Be Seen" for all our travellers Stuff like "You're all a bunch of Bastards"..."Large Goose around corner" and bits like that would, I feel, be much more beneficial to the local traveller.

cheeky boy Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I am warming to this change in thread How about something topical on our flashing signs like: "Don't gossip in Peel" or: "There's a boat in the morning (but not one back that night)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could have a flashing "Warning DOT" sign at every fuck up and re-harsh site - maybe starting with a big one at the entrance to north quay.
