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.

Pothole ahead 10km.

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

"Sign not in use"

"Zombies ahead"

"I'm getting some tonight"

Drove to Cumbria up the M6 last night. Not particularly windy, no traffic problems, great drive. The signs must have frightened everyone away, so lets keep them

It's a good warning for high sided lorries is it not?

Lies, there are no stretches of road in this country that doesn't have potholes for 10km.

10km? That's not a pothole, that's a crater.

"Crater ahead 6miles, mind the potholes on the way."

How long'd that take?

[Gizmo!]

If I was driving a high sided vehicle north on the M6 I might like to know that the weather up North is also bad.

Yes, I could have worked it out myself.

But really, did it cause you any harm?

Couple of minutes... wonderful thing the Internet.
