I don’t know anything about the concrete central barriers…other than they are popping up everywhere, but the old Armco (?) metal ones were designed to give and gradually return you to the driving lane (with a ****ed up car, but at least safer for you) How are the new ones designed to work? EDIT - They’re Jersey barriers apparently (although aren’t made of wool) and last longer than metal ones. https://www.clearway.co.uk/news/what-is-a-jersey-barrier/
The country is bust, too much waste and not enough tax being paid/collected. On the M1 yesterday, potholes all over, the joins of tarmac splitting open, debris all over, next to the central barrier full of accumulated grit and gravel and now growing grass and weeds, and probably worse of all puddles of water because of subsidence or more likely the surface not laid properly. Oh I forgot using what was the hard shoulder as a live lane and ****s who sit in the 3rd of 4 lanes, the standard of driving these days is appalling
I wonder how we'd cope in this country now if we had a significant amount of snow ? Everything would just grind to a halt wouldn't it
Seen a video of a farmer and wife pushing cars and vans up a hill, big queue waiting their turn to be pushed up but not one got out of their cars to help. Bastards.
Hull college closed for safety reasons. Jeez they can’t walk without falling and getting up and brushing g the snow off - what about the slides they are missing making !! Snowflakes can’t walk on snow !!
I woke up this morning and opened my bedroom curtains to our beautiful garden covered in snow and the snow still coming down. With the black and white striped gable ends it looked like a Christmas card setting. Wish I could upload the photos I took to this site, I got some beautiful shots.
Agree, country is 'bust', there is far far too much waste .....but as for not enough tax being paid / collected? At some point we have to ask what is all the tax that is collected being collected being spent on? We can't just continue to raise more tax and add taxes on even more things. We are taxed when we earn, taxed when we spend, when we save and when we die. A start would be to massively simplify.
