Time for a rant

Hi All
Back to normal mode & time for a rant.
Driving back home last night from work, departed LHR T3 @ 22:00ish and our wonderful road agency decided to do some engineering works on the M25....fine have no problems with that on a quietish night (if there is such a thing on the M25). However, what the numpty did & I mean one numpty. Where the M3 converges with the M25 South, there is normally 6 lanes (nearly a Freeway!!!), the roads agency decided to reduce to one lane!!!! via cones & overhead warning signs.
Having queued up for 45mins, with the normal muppets trying to `push in`, made it (and I quote Spandau Ballet) through the barricades!!!!, only to find numpty x 1 smoking a fag laughing at motorists, with the coned area covering 20yds at the most until the cones stopped & opened up to a four lane M25 again..........which t*at is responsible for this...........rant over........probably happening again tonight, when I require the KV6 `Dylithium Crystals` to be at full belt Scotty to make last orders!!!!!

Sounds like a bit of over kill unless they had finished what they were doing and taking the closure off?
I hate those tw*ts who ignore the lane closure then force their way in at the end. If they merged earlier then the traffic would flow through nicely instead of jamming up.

What annoys me is when the lanes are coned off and no one is working on the frigging roads, they dont even have any machinery there

They are probably hiding behind the hedges laughing their c*cks off
