Default Valdez Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, and now... South Wales

When I went for a ride, and I saw fuel everywhere, I said to myself "WTF"

/locapeople

There was a big splodge of fuel right in the middle of the road up and over the Caerphilly Mountain today, every ten feet. Regular as clockwork. It was still a bit damp from rain but this fuel just made it extra fun.

Then in Cardiff the roads were absolutely awash in places. If you think fuel is too expensive, general public, quit p***ing it all over the road.

Another thing:
You're the council, you reconfigure the lanes at a roundabout, so you paint over the old markings with the cheapest, glossiest black paint you can find? So that when it's damp and/or bright it catches the sun so effectively it looks almost white? So people think THOSE are the markings and you end up with cars straddling the lanes (or in my case) coming straight towards you in your lane!?

Wish I could afford to leak fuel!

Bradford council need their kneecaps breaking and their children kicking, the shower of worthless scum sucking tossers. Closing down the one perfectly suitable, not annoying anyone off roading site wasn't enough. Neither was playing yo-yo with the speed limits along a perfectly safe NSL road (even safer now the f***ing flappit quarry is closed! C***s!), now they've felt the urge to put traffic islands on every safe overtaking area within 5 miles! FFS!

Bradford council, you bunch of tossers, may you catch the ebola virus in the balls and forever crap hedgehogs!
