Recently a company has started digging up road round here to lay fibre optic cable for intermaweb stuff. I don't know why, because they're horrifically expensive so no one here has the slightest inclunation to sign up to them, and our local internet - fibre-to-cabinet - is actually pretty decent already.
Anyway, things are so bad now that 2 of the 3 roads out of the village are closed for 2 weeks to allow them to make their mud pies, and while the 3rd is open there are roadworks again further out, necessitsting a big detour in order to get anywhere. This is annoying enough in he cosseting comfort of my BMW X5, but a serious ballache when on a bicycle ride.
If that isn't bad enough, our road was resurfaced last year. A proper job, they dug up the old one and gave us 6 inches of lovely, glass smooth, super sexy tarmac...only for Gigaclear to dig big holes in it and ruin it.
We didn't ask for it, we don't want it, now &$%@ off back to your depot and leave the roads of our leafy shire well alone.
Is anyone else being blighted by this sort of thing?
