Any moaning about the traffic implications is clearly being done by people who don't use the routes. Oh look...again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats every crossing now I believe has been lifted at least once . Lessons have been learned ?!! Clearly not . How f*cking heavy is a brick pavior that you need a mechanical excavator to lift them up, or is that to level the sand beneath it. Not a single hand tool in sight, like a level, a mallet or a spade. Not even an attempt to stack the bricks and two men to watch? You can tell it's only public money eh? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me, but in todays health and safety regime, One banks man, a banksman for the banksman, to the side I would expect a health and safety liaison officer, two foremen, a DOI works inspector and his manager, if anything there are not enough people to carry out this procedure. Tim Baker is right, this job has taken so long because of labour shortage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed out Tim Baker in the background doing an interview with Paul Moulton to justify the latest cost/time/scope/smashing seagulls with a digger/general slippage.

I am all for being lazy and using machinery when needed but surely in this instance that job could be done much more quickly and with less damage to the bricks which can presumably be re used if the blokes in the photo just used hand tools? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallMeCurious Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Or maybe the two guys are there to ensure no seagulls are harmed during the operation of the digger bucket... you know because you can't sack idiots only legislate for them. Never mind the Beaman report will sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
