OK this is a good one. The photo below is of some 'works' (read: bone idles?) on the junction of Union St and Southwark Bridge Road. The blue lane here was put in months ago, then dug up about 4 weeks ago, at a guess. I ride through here every day. This work has effectively shut the road there, though many cyclists were using the little bit of walkway to squeeze round. But basically shut the road. For ages. I saw people working there for a couple of days, then nothing. No-one. Ever. For weeks.
A photo similar to this was printed in the Standard yesterday, to coincide with the launch of the SuperduperBarclaySmurfway.
This morning the works were, miraculously, done, filled in, and some new blue termac laid all lovely, and the side road now open again.
Amazing, the power of the tabloids.
This has to be someone from Boris's office?^ I once hollered at him a few years back at Bloombury Sq, when he was just a hack I think, 'Oi Bozzer get some lights!'. Now someone called the BozBoz is a member of the forum?
