that'll also be associated to the Health and Safety at work act.

Someone will be writing down what work is being done, risk assessments for road workers, public safety, (hence the speed limit camera) and safety working zones for workmen..another will be taking ages to put cones out, another will be thinking about actually starting some work because the Health and safety assessor hasn't got through to him and finally there will be the infamous one who always watches what is going on and smoking a fag whilst leaning over the pneumatic drill.

what a nanny state we live in..

Whatever happened to actually doing the work as quick as possible to avoid traffic disruption/ flow and road workers using common sense at work.
