Hallelujah, thank God, Allah and all other deities. Those bloody cones have been a curse on my commute since the beginning of the year. I have been so close (as I'm sure have many of my fellow sufferers) to getting out of the car and hoofing the bastard things one by one over the barriers and into the undergrowth.

Why did it cost £262,000 to put some cones out?

to rent an empty warehouse to not store them in?

It probably cost the economy that much daily in lost man hours.

I started a doomed thread on this back in March. I never updated it as, perhaps unsurprisingly, I never got a reply
