Cool Why cant we be this quick

State of roads in Sussex is getting a joke eg around the corner from me they have dug two trenches only a foot apart and now its sunk not good for suspension,the roads are terrible.This video is great.

That is very impressive for a 'Straight' road being built.

They have no traffic to redirect, no kerb stones to lay, no corners to manoeuvre around, no drains, no trenches, no manhole's and no pipework/gas/water services to worry about. They are in the middle of nowhere so it should be that quick an easy for them.

Stick the Aussie's in the centre of London and then see what happens.

Like this about the road in Japan being repaired in 48 hours, but the opening was delayed for another 5 days due to Health & safety checks.


Was in Morrisons supermarket today, and noticed the toilets were closed for cleaning - 1 hour later they were still closed ..... when I enquired why it took so long to clean the loos, I was told that they have to remain shut until the washed floor drys for "Health & Safety" reasons.....

Its a CRAZE world ....
