Found my Columbia Road cycle track pics on the same back up disc. I had to replace some grim 1960s brick planter full of needles and rats. I found an old giant plant pot thrown away by the City of London in one of my contractor's storage yards when I was choosing some second hand granite setts one day (they have a contract with the City as well). I got it for free and employed a sign writer/artist. I showed him what I wanted and he did the bizzo. I had some drain holes drilled in the underside, plonked a steel post in it, ordered some direction signs and made a little cycle track junction sign up. The old bloke in the pictures is Dead Ted, the most gentlemanly person I ever met. He was live Ted back then. I think he was 82 at the time these pictures were taken. Had a family box at Wimbledon Tennis ground and was brought up in Canada and Ireland before joining the RAF as an officer, then became a policeman, car salesman, highways inspector and finally highways contractor. I miss him. The bloke laying the turf is Jim, who will be setting out with me on Sunday. The blue duct tape on the indoor pics of the plant pot are mine so the artist knew where the pointy hands had to be (there are two in total) and which way they had to point.4 points

Here's my road, the only pictures I can find is where we've already done the big bit at the Hackney end and have just started on the bit in the old tree area. It has grass growing through it now so it doesn't look so stark. The London Air Ambulance started using it for transferring patients to the London Chest Hospital after we finished it as it was clear of trees at one end and a nice stable landing ground in wet weather. I've got a video of articulated lorries running on AutoTRACK simulation between my trees somewhere on the server at work.3 points

It's alright I suppose, has won a few awards, but it is a bit lacking in toilet facilities and I have had a few managers who think a meeting there instead of the office is a good idea. I built a road in there a few years back, I was only supposed to check the construction on behalf of someone else but it turned out there were no drawings for it at all, so I had to do those, including a bit of a wiggle to save some mature trees and then set it out. It now gets used by HGVs when they have a music festival in there. I'll see if I can find my pictures of the trees I couldn't save being cut down after a birds nest check. Bit of Old London Bridge put here when the park was built. The Georgian one not the medieval one I assume.3 points

I do wonder about stories like this and the British (in particular) reaction. When French bikers demonstrate and bring cities to a complete halt, then that’s fine. Bring it on! Why can’t we organise like this? but when it’s a group who want to force government to genuinely improve the poorest in societies living standards, as well as those with the least amount of power, with some direct action. Then that’s just attention seeking. Or how dare they? I think it’s a British thing. The Brit’s have never really recovered from serfdom. Doing what they are told by their “betters”. Bow. Making do with their lot. And never rock the boat. Tug forelock and thank you my lord. The French have the hang of forcing change or a reversal in policy. The brits don’t. We have the vote, a skewed system and are so grateful. bow, tug forelock.2 points

A street works certificate 5 day course followed by tests in an unheated shed in January with a true pig of a man acting as lecturer. I wouldn't mind but it was a repeat of stuff we did 5 years before and I had to do it again a few years ago, but that one time was the absolute worst. I have never been so cold indoors before, nor disliked a lecturer as much. Whenever I had finished writing out reams of old shit I would go and get a coffee or visit the toilet, when I came back there would be a circle of people around my paperwork copying it feverishly. If I got something wrong so did they. I was doing the repeat in 2019 when I went to A&E at 3am with my last kidney stone so I missed the last 2 days. They tried to stiff me out of my Street Works supervisor card and said I had to do the two missing days, but I did some research and the units I had completed was enough to get the basic card.2 points

You guys really ought to research into the real demands and origins of these fekwits and what they're actually campaigning for and how they are funded. They are tied to Extinction Rebelion, who's aims are not to help the environment but rather to bring down democracy and install communism, they are funded by a very well known and notorious socialist reform multi billionaire George Soros, yes the same guy who has funded Antifa and many other groups designed to bring about chaos and disruption not to mention Black Lives Matter Let's understand it, if they don't give a crap if your granny dies in an ambulance trying to get to hospital then they definitely don't give a crap about your granny getting cold. The MO of these groups is always the same, find a justifiable cause that some can sympathise with and use it for disruption, indoctrinating followers into other more insidious demands like defunding the police, closing down all prisons, dismantling democracy. Have you not noticed how these groups just spring up out of nowhere?, they were never there beforehand for years trying to make changes for the better, no, they suddenly appeared creating chaos Have you every looked into the definition of fascism? Try it and see how it applies to these groups It's just how Hitler's Third Reich got going1 point

On Sunday I'm meeting Jim and his son Little Jim (also known as Gerald due to the fact that's his name) to mark out my scheme kerb lines on the actual road and footways in chalk and paint. This way we can gauge the best places to put any new gullies and drainage connections and see any obvious fuck ups with my lines before I go any further and make myself look a right dicky-doo-dah. Hope it stays dry or that's my overtime up the spout. Jim and myself will be measuring and curving bits of rope artistically whilst Gerald shouts out if we are about to get run over and if he doesn't he will get a blast of Gaelic swearing off his Dad from underneath a lorry. Coincidentally there is a nice food market just inside the park gates we will be working outside, so lunch should be exotic and possibly tasty. Check out the link below. http://victoriaparkmarket.com/1 point

I had a hotel group email me claiming my footway (constructed a year ago) was stopping their fire door opening. Honestly, it's the slightest thing with these people! Their desk staff were obviously not informed of this dangerous fact because I now have 3 lovely photos of one of them holding the door fully open for my contractor Jim.1 point
