So Fecking What?

[binlicker]

Driving home from work last night around junction 23 on the M6 (between Liverpool and Manchester) all the motorway gantry signs are displaying " Cumbria High Winds ".

As per the title, SO fkING WHAT? I'm nowhere near Cumbria, I'm not going to Cumbria, I doubt most people around me are going to Cumbria. Just WHY?

Whats next " Warning Ice in Antarctica "?

Does somebody sit in the control centre being dared to put complete bks up on the road signs? Nice to see our money being so well spent, better than it being needlessly wasted filling all the potholes and making our roads driveable again!

You complain, but let's face it, we'd all love to be in charge of those signs.

I'd just put "No Entry" above the M25 and enjoy a clear route for once.

S'pose it would be fun. Bet you're not allowed anywhere near the thing when working your notice period.

I was just thinking that he got very angry about it.

Not very angry, ABSOLUTELY fkING FURIOUS!!

Seriously though, we are paying for these signs that are seldom of any real use, always seem to be used for stating the obvious or being totally irrelevent to that particular stretch of road which is also usually in dire need of resurfacing but hasn't been done due to lack of budget.

And what about when they tell you how many minutes travel it is to the next junction, except you could knock ANOTHER five minutes off that journey time if every fker on the motorway wasn't slowing down to read the bd sign!!
