I
think this must be my favourite Frizoni Folly (†). It’s Sidcup again and it’s
gone now but it shouldn’t have existed even for a minute.
An illuminated No Entry sign finding itself in the wrong place when Bexley council embarks
on another of its interminable, frequently pointless, road rearrangements should always be
moved before the road is resurfaced. It’s hard to fathom why the
contractor went ahead with it but maybe they get fed up with getting stupid
instructions and just follow them - I had a boss like that once and after a
while you get sick of querying them - but where are the council inspectors that
allow these things to exist for weeks on end?
When I employed some former F.M. Conway men to do a job for me they said that
the good thing about working for Bexley is that if they do come to look at a job
they rarely bother to get out of their car while eating their sandwiches.
