Typical council workers,  pedantic robots

Just do what they are told and unable to reason

Pathetic and a complete waste of paint

 mustard-tree, it wasn't council workers who did this, it was private contractors

Private contractors probably hired by the Highways Agency who are responsible for roads/signage/yellow lines etc.... don't get me started! :_|:^O

Just a thought.

How is payment worked out? If the painters were given street names and told to paint yellow lines on those streets and those streets only, then you can blame the people who wrote the list. On the other hand, if the painters were told to paint yellow lines wherever they could inside a particular area of a town, then you blame the painters.

But then another question pops into my head. In the second option, if the painters were newly arrived immigrants from Poland or Romania, maybe they didn't know the meaning of the yellow lines. Maybe they were just told to paint yellow lines next to all the kerbs.

My Dad worked for the Highways Agency for 30 years... He was suddenly sacked for stealing from them...

I didn't believe he would do such a thing.....

But when I got home .....................  All the signs were there....

They do what they are told and put lines in alleys to stop motorbikes blocking it for pram users.. this was done in Larne
