19 June - The driver of Toyota GV58 CFM is a selfish cretin

Yellow lining Yellow lining Yellow liningWhen Bexley Council resurfaced Carrill Way three weeks ago their quantity surveyor got it wrong and they ran out of asphalt three hours after the job was due to be completed.

Bexley’s contractor returned three days later to patch in the gap and leave it looking less than pretty.

The yellow lines were missing and a van driver with no knowledge of the Highway Code took advantage of the omission until a week ago when I happened to be passing by as the yellow line man showed up. I grabbed a quick and badly framed phone photo.

The man did the best job he could and I heard him call for a lift vehicle to come to his aid but it never did.

The van driver to his credit was never seen again but every day since a cretin in a Toyota has taken his place. Photos were taken on consecutive days and three are shown below. When I drove home from Sainsbury’s early this morning I had to hold up the traffic on Abbey Road while waiting for an opportunity to turn into Carrill Way.

Unless Bexley Council gets its arse into gear there will never be a time for filling in the gap in the lines. I think I am in favour of lift and crush - especially as it is a Toyota.

If Bexley Council wishes to get in first they should note that the cretin arrives between 7 and 7:30.
