"Why are you digging-up the road?" They replied "To put cables in for Virgin media". They said it with such positive enthusiasm like they really believed what they were doing was a brilliant thing that everyone would want it.

I replied "It looks a total mess and Richard Branson is a tax exile taking over public transport and the NHS".
