3 Counties Radio this morning, chap from the Highways Agency being interviewed about the latest story of increased? deaths among road workers.
'So what do you say about Safespeed saying your statistics prove there is no difference in the figures'? asks DJ
"usual response about speed hurting etc".
'Then why did you deny access to these figures'?
"aaaaaaww, I wasn't expecting that question"
'ok don't answer it then' says DJ.

I'll tell you how to make the roadworks at Stevenage safer, put up merge in turn signs. Everything flows smoothly with most adopting the zipper method till someone decides to push in, the outer lane bunches up and everything stops

Why do we not do this? I agree it would make a lot of our roadworks a lot safer and would maximise traffic flow. Worst of all it is so cheap to implement, nah better to stick a scam there and make a profit.

And there you have it, the question wasn't agreed in advance, so there's no need to answer! Where's Jeremy Paxman - he of the 17 repeated questions to Michael Howard - when you need him? - Streaky
