No real measurement of actual performance. Busy idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Hearing a lot of moaning, a Manx pastime, about the queues on the promenade. I go there as little as possible due to the works, its common sense to avoid it while it is getting rebuilt. From what I am hearing its the same people, on face book moaning about the same situation over and over again - Is that not a sign of madness?? Come on Amadeus? What do you think?

Well the sign of madness is supposed to be doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. In which case most of the DoI should be sectioned.

No it's just common sense frustration at the incompetence, misinformation, excessive waste of money, endless delays, the madness of unmarked junctions with artwork on them and all out our expense. After all, has anyone been sacked during this fiasco? Not even guys trying to kill fucking seagulls with a digger, or whoever is responsible for laying and then relaying paviours, tarmac or concrete? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year when they spend £500,000 planing the £50k dressing off and relaying it with the sort of stone chips the contractors wanted in the first place.

Non-Believer Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Some serious road dressing work appears to be scheduled for the North of the Island going by the size of the veritable mountain of chippings that has been stockpiled in the carpark/playground of the former Albert Rd school.

TT course maybe as its terrible around the Hairpin and heading out of Ramsey. Sure theres another places down there really bad too.
