Winslow Boy Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The world has gone nuts. Why has it gone nuts you ask ( waiting for you say something.........) . So this morning I'm driving along a fairly busy stretch of road in Manutopea and what do I find well the muppets- other terms are available have decided at midday to close one of lanes as they want to put up a telegraph pole. The fact that this means no one can turn right without stopping all the traffic, or that no one can get into a petrol station doesn't seem to have occurred to them. I give up I really, really do. We are all dooooomed. 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the three routes out of Benfleet were scheduled to be closed or significantly restricted over the last two weeks. Fortunately the local council managed to persuade the people digging up the A13 to delay until today. If the nearby boot sale runs this weekend there is not a lot of point going anywhere. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds just like where I live. The railway is reopening to passengers so the main road has traffic lights where they are building a bridge to replace the level crossing. The level crossing also has part time temporary lights. On average it adds up to 15 minutes to each journey. The road avoiding all this also has a level crossing - which is about to close the road for 2 weeks so thay can build a footbridge. The same road has also 2 sets of temporary lights for the water company. The two roads meet just outside town to form one road, which also has roadworks. On the north side of town a third level crossing is still closed, this week the main road nearby flooded and was closed, it also has roadworks. The third road only has minor road works at the access to a housing estate. There are only three roads into town. It is easier to stay at home.

However, I would like to comment that given a choice between a doctor with a curt and abrupt bedside manner with outstanding clinical skills and expertise and a doctor with a smooth and reassuring bedside manner and so-so clinical skills and expertise, I’d take Dr Grumpy any day. Many decades ago, when I was working in the hospital, I noted that some of the very best clinicians were those with the poorest bedside manners. One neurosurgeon in particular had a hair trigger temper in the operating theatre (things had to be “just so” and he did NOT tolerate any sloppiness in technique) and was brutally blunt with the patients (along the lines of “I’ll remove the tumour but you’ll be permanently impaired”j and yet he was the neurosurgeon of choice for incredibly complex procedures. Thinking about the above, I wonder how much was an act? The surgeon who did my recently cataract op was excellent. MrsID joined me on the follow-up visit with him. She concluded he had had his personality surgically removed. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
