Great thing about being a contractor.

Was being messed around by the garage I was getting my new car from. Don't worry I'll just have the mini back....

But you will lose the deposit... So what thats less than what I earnt this morning and its far less than the £2k I will lose as I drive the new car from here...

What were you gonna get?

I see some unfortunate police woman has been flattened by a bus on that most lethal of roads, The Kingsway in Swansea.

It used to be a dual carriageway, but to accommodate the most vaunted bendy bus, it was changed.

One side is for the hoi polloi and is one way*.

The other side is for buses and taxies and is two way.

Thus you may cross the one way bit and then forget that the next carriageway is two way & get offed by a bus.

*In an additional piece of madness, half way along the one way bit the traffic starts going in the opposite direction. You really couldn't make this tulip up.

[eek]

What were you gonna get?

Seat Leon fr. Will just wait a few months and get it then

They did that thing of having a one-way street with a bus lane that ran the other way in Harrow circa 1986 - my then-GF came from there. In this case, it wasn't a dual carriageway: you crossed the road which was clearly one way, and two-thirds of the way across you had to look out for buses from the other direction.

Apparently the first pedestrian was hit by a bus less than a week after the new road layout was opened
