Annoymouse Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Following on from the earlier cycling discussion, I thought this from Cheshire Fire and Rescue was quite good, unfortunately it will only appeal to those who actually have empathy and for some reason unknown when people seem to get into a vehicle it changes their personality. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I see in today’s Rob Callister’s weekly blog, he says he went for a walk on the Promenade, and he understood all the complaints from the traders affected. I wonder if he took a pen and notepad along to note down all the defects etc. On the one hand he is a member of the department doing the work, and on the other hand he has remained quiet. Don’t rock the boat. He says he also went canvassing for the General Election and an Onchan constituent gave him a hard time, he accepted the voter was entitled to his views. How can Rob Callister possibly defend himself to an irate voter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanShimmin Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) There were some impressive new cracks opening in the concrete today. They probably won't become too evident until the weather cools down. Edited July 17, 2021 by AlanShimmin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps he has a Tynpotwald clipboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s safe to say that. Well it is in that there won’t be any repercussions. But it’s a stupid thing to say anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omobono Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 if you lay several hundred metres of cast steel in the ground ,encase it in concrete with no flexible joints for expansion its going to cause some serious damage ,especially on a hot summers day , the expanding steel has to go somewhere , all this is basic engineering and rails and fishplates have been around since 1850's perhaps the whole promenade rail will have to come up again and be laid properly with expansion joints and a more flexible base , 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
