A few hundred yards away from my house, at the main crossroads controlled by traffic lights, there are a couple of signs announcing that there will soon be a road closure. Apparently there is to be some work undertaken which will necessitate the closure of a road for eight weeks!
The yellow signs that announce the closure from 20th June onwards were no doubt erected with no sense of irony on the part of the contractor. The words after the note about closure for eight weeks are:
"We apologise for any inconvenience"
What the fuck? Any inconvenience!! Of course there's fucking inconvenience, tons of it!! How on earth can a main road be shut for eight weeks and there not be massive fucking disruption while workmen piss about and drag out a week's worth of labour over two months, while the local population queues, swears and gets frustrated. Maybe I missed the yellow notice positioned by the government just before it started bombing Libya, apologising to the residents for "any inconvenience".
