So yesterday, a water main about 100yd from my place bursts. Road is blocked of course but we're actually a well used country lane and well used rat run rather than a street in a town so 'Road Closed, No Entry ' signs are posted about half a mile away leaving, of course, a gap for those people who like me can still access their homes. From this sign to the blocked section itself, there are just farm tracks and drives off them, none of them lead anywhere.
So today I've had fun watching the idiots who drive straight past the 'Road Closed' signs until they are suddenly confronted with a barrier, when they have to turn round and go back. They're mostly largish cars like BMWs, Audis, Range Rovers, X5s; strangely the ordinary medium/small cars don't come along. I saw one Audi estate where they stopped, white haired occupant got out and prowled back and forth across the barriers, gawd knows why.
There was no sign of anyone doing much work on the road surface today although there was a solitary car parked there so I dare say it will take several days before they get round to fixing it so my rat run will be quiet for a few more days, then when they fix that, Surrey CC will be carrying out work to clear a blocked culvert a few yards away which constantly floods the entire road
