There's an obsession in local government for changing street lights, swapping older models for the latest design. In my region, the old silver posts are being replaced by green ones. It involves an inordinate amount of work, and the new ones are put in place alongside the old. At a later date, someone comes along to 'adjust the connections' before the old post is removed. The end result is that when it's dark, some fuckin' light is shed on an area below. Collectively, these little areas of light help cunts to find their way around. In actual fact, the end result is not unlike what already fuckin' existed. Still, in these times of supposed hardship and when there's a need for constraint, it's nice to know we do not have councils that waste money.
In some areas, lights are not actually being switched on, to conserve power and save money. This rather makes a mockery of installing new lights, then. As far as I'm concerned, the government could quite easily save loads of money by not only halting the stupid swap-out scheme, but turning off lights on motorways. Every second or third light could be turned off in most areas, to save millions of them shedding light; there's still enough to see.
Of course, saving money is the 'in thing' at the moment, and there are cut-backs everywhere you look. Times are hard and getting harder, and this is evidenced at a national level by the lack of planes to go on aircraft carriers. While all this is supposedly essential, it seems that giving away 37 billion pounds in aid (a big increase on the previous level) is something that the government considers sensible, warranted and possible. Cunts! This country is a fucking joke, and the left hand does know what the right hand is doing - it's tossing off a load! So, whilst I did think that turning off lights would be an easy way to reduce costs, what's the fuckin' point if the cunts-in-charge are giving that much away anyway. So, the lights may be on, but there's no one at home!
