I'm grateful that you're deciding to resurface the A41 given the fact that in parts you can see the original Roman road through the potholes, but if you're going to close it to do so we'd appreciate a little more warning than the half-baked hand-written yellow sign you left at the side of the road the day before.
At 70mph, what you actually read is this:
"AS PART OF OUR HIGHWAY IMPRO...."
What you miss is this:
"By the way, this road will be closed overnight for a couple of weeks while we dig it up. We won't give any more information but we have been scouting out a diversion that takes you through some of the more scenic parts of Wales and over a rather splendid series of speed bumps we found recently."
I mean, how bleedin' hard is it to have (a) a bigger sign, and (b) perhaps more than one so drivers don't have to screech to a halt on a dual carriageway and reverse back up to look at it?
