Lol I know, I set off to get to school at 12.30 this lunchtime for my exam at 1.30pm... I was horrified at all the works going off outside and was all pent up ready for an argument if they told me I wasn't going through...

Luckily, they just pulled their wagons out of the way and I popped through the gap they'd left and then attempted to negotiate the junction lol

They're still doing it now actually... The surface does feel a lot better and my car's suspension sure is grateful for a nice piece of road lol

Uh huh - when they started the work on Sunday Morning, they had a "road closed" sign not allowing people to go up from the bottom of the Moor to West One... I wasn't been marooned in my apartment so I squeezed through the gap at the side of the sign and got out lol! oopsie!

;) Well they've got some front, enclosing an entire community and restricting their access to their property! It's the benefit of having a small car you see ;)

Hopefully it should all be over soon. It's a nightmare and one that interferes with lots and lots of road users!

Certainly would! Do you know it takes around 200 years to get a road re-surfaced. I shall not live to see the next time it gets done!
