Leaves on the road!
Discussion
I'd read in the Wail that times were hard in Eastern Europe so Polish leaves were making their way here and lying on British roads so they could claim benefits.
I think we should be grateful for the extra leaves, it's not as if they grow on trees.

I get the point of the original post. When I was driving driving to work last week there was a guy from the council with a leaf blower blowing leaves from the pavement into the road, rather than into the large expanse of trees & grass which was on the other side of him. It did go through my mind whether he had shares in an accident repair company.
There can't have been a road sweeper that close behind as I didn't pass it either before I passed the blower nor after it. Why not just blow them back under the trees they fell from, only needs one man then and no truck at all. Going o/t slightly why not get all those benefit scroungers out there picking the leaves up to earn their keep.
I read this thread last night and haven't been able to sleep since.
This could possibly be one of the worst infringements of motorists' rights I've ever encountered.
I have scheduled a meeting with my local MP and am going to suggest that the UK embarks on a project to cut down every tree within 900 yards of a road. I'm taking this all the way. This government can not just sit there worrying about trivialities such as the economy while cars, motorcyclists and other misc road users are forced to back off ever so slightly on a few corners for a couple of days each year.
This country is going to hell in a handcart, I tells you.
