Why does it take two workmen to move a 1 m sign and direct traffic

Recommended Posts

Last summer Jon I was delivering concrete in a 6 wheeler truck to a mini roundabout in a busy town centre. Only one guy on tm and two blokes working.

 

As I approached I gestured where do you want me? How are we going to do this.

3 of them stood there in a zombie like trance, probably coming to terms with they were now going to have to do some work.

However 3 weren't enough to direct me. I positioned myself in the least disruptive way to traffic I thought best. As I jumped out the cab they informed me "driver can you......"

 

I was required to dance the whole roundabout again. You look a twerp but what can you do?

 

I could write 3 TV series of mr bean, frank spencer style comedy based on real people that work at the rear end of a concrete mixer.

Christ, if that's what you said to them verbatim, they must have been completely flummoxed!
