Street Sign Idiocy Astounds

I was informed yesterday that a site visit had taken place to see the missing street sign on Butterstile Lane. Apparently the sign exists! Any problem is all a figment of my imagination, apparently…

Unfortunately, it transpired that the site visit had been to the wrong end of the road, and the operatives involved had not deduced that, like many roads, this one has two ends. The end that they inspected does indeed have its full complement of signs. The end I wanted them to look at does not. And so they returned to base thinking that all was well. I have had to tell them today that it is not.

The manager concerned offered to meet with me to discuss the issues, but I have told him that it won’t be necessary and that there is only one issue - the missing street sign that I just want him to replace!

As a reminder, this was first reported back in May… Quite how something this simple can be turned into something seemingly unachievable is beyond me.

The trials continue…
