Bloody hell I don't believe it in my best Victor.

Just taken the wife to work and seen two council units clearing up fallen leaves at 6:40am on a Sunday morning. Round the large roundabout on the A6 at Chorley Hartwood Hall

Now are they doing it because

1) they block the gullies/drains and cause flooding.
2) they are a danger to all two wheel users as they become greasy on the bends

or is the cynic in me correct. They are on overtime and anti social hours payments and it is the best way for these guys to inflate their wages.

Although for the first time in 20 years living here, I actually saw a street cleaning unit drive onto the small estate where I live, and earlier this year they finally got round to putting a road sign to tell people that this small cul-de-sac of about 25 houses was a 30 limit coming off a 40 mph road, only 48 years after the road was built.
