Contractor working in my house was laughing and brought it to my attention so I just posted the link. And Mrs Q has just said even Fox News has it covered..!

It just looks to me like a load of people moaning about something they've literally never used before. Bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went through yesterday it was just one lane one way from south end of prom up Broadway between the cones. Has that changed? It was a failed attempt at humour. It is one way up Broadway, THROUGH CONES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre. Sorry but you might have a point regarding over reaction and maybe it will after its open be okay and not be a problem to use etc but one thing is indefensible is the standard of workmanship on this roundel/roundabout . I'm sorry but its a disgrace and thats before we mention the lines painted on which I cant work out what there purpose is. Mind blowing to think DOI have the world and his wife scrutinising this project and they still cant ensure a acceptable standard of workmanship . Nobody would accept this work on their own property .

Agree. Prepared to give it a go but cant accept the awful workmanship.
