Wow, that's sad. Yes we are, they really layer on the stuff here, at places where the lorry has to pass multiple times (e.g. a roundabout) you can even get 'salt dune' deposits from it building up. Wrecks the drivetrain on my bicycle - inevitably have to replace components once winter is over.
Very good points!
Hadn't considered that, grit lorries must fling a lot at the base with each pass.
Agreed. So quality of British manufacturing and workmanship. Now someone has to pay to have them all replaced.
Yes, all weakened and then blown over in a recent storm. Corrosion from sea-salt in the air maybe? There are tens of them about, which does not seem normal
I expect that I 1. underestimate the forces of nature and 2. overestimate the quality of British manufacturing
I found this damage interesting because
These are only a few of tens if not hundreds of downed signs in the area
Ha it's a shared bin (which I just realised makes the delivery even more risky).
Standing in the bin and jumping up and down is a good strategy to compact at a later date. Otherwise, the hydraulic press of the bin lorry can handle it :)
Figure the idea of the name is a network for air/flight transit
Military comms. Sounds like a more evocative use of the word compared to a courier service!
Now, you gotta promise me you're not gonna kill anyone, right?
TIL this is the address of a company in Holland
Good ideas, thanks!
I sold tickets to a concert on stubhub last year as I was unable to attend.
The concert was cancelled so no sale. Now stubhub wants me to pay a fee for failing to deliver on my listed tickets...
Amazon driver put cardboard package in cardboard recycling bin due to be collected this week... delivery note explaining where parcel was had been placed in the bin too
That's so true. Well before the 20s is up I'm already making edits to the code to preempt the imminent runtime error then recompile and continue the cycle...
