I wanna go to Trafex2017 and meet bosshogg!!! https://twitter.com/HighwaysEngland/status/8495774...
There was a lot of traffic management kit aimed at the construction industry, as well as car park barrier control and s, ANPR cameras, that sort of thing. But there were a LOT of people wandering about who are clearly weekend heroes collecting lots of hi-viz freebies, and binging on complimentary sweets,
There was a lot of 4x4 Response type vehicles dotted around the car parks.
If it were me in the car, I'd just shout "I'm a district nurse on my way to see a patient who is trapped in her house, cut off from all the recent flooding". This is walt-code for "something far more serious than your little jogging event has occurred" and the hi-vis jackets are trained to leap out of the way to assist her speedy arrival at said "patient". It even works in the summer during droughts.

I've read that article a couple of times now. I get the impression the reporter was thinking "this guy is a complete tool but I have to be polite" and trying not to piss him/herself100% Walt with honours.

if a run has gone to the trouble of closing roads it hasn't just occurred and they pay to shut roads so it's not going to be a little event either.pablo said:

"Harrison looks up for no more than a split second. ‘Nope, not Maow Maow. The legs are too short, and the hair is too long. Close, though,’ she says, turning a bucket over. Then her walkie-talkie buzzes. ‘Viki, Viki, it’s Tom, over,’ barks the voice. As the only other person on the search, it could only ever have been Watkins, but protocol is protocol.
Harrison responds. We both await Watkins’ follow-up with bated breath… ‘I’m out of posters. Let’s reconvene.’"
That journalist is hilarious.

I've seen this numerous times and it boils my piss. He has no business imitating a paramedic like that. His stupid fking walt wagon should be crushed with all his faux medical kit still inside, and he should be made to watch. Edited by RumbleOfThunder on Monday 10th April 10:34
