Adverts have taken a dark turn. What do I see advertised on my TV now everyday ? Funeral plans on a monthly payment, charity based lotteries, disturbing animal cruelty charity adverts, government Social Security adverts telling people to update their claims if their circumstances have changed and even today an advert telling how much easier my life will be with a digital ID. Its depressing.
Meanwhile the roads here are crumbling. They are only just fit for a car and if serious work is not done soon they will be impassible unless you have an SUV or pickup. Not even this weekends Dent Run has prompted any repairs. Im sure there will be trip ups and falls. Maybe then something will get done ?
The two village pubs are grinding to a halt and houses are still not selling. A pub window is even boarded up as it appears to have blown out in last nights wild weather. We just need some graffiti to finish the job.
On a positive note a road east out of the valley has been repaired after a land slip. Its been well over a year in the doing. As with anything council related it is so slow. All Britain works this way. Protocols and schedules which take no urgency, or local needs into account are the problem.
I am now going to fix my wife's car that has broken a suspension spring. Wish me luck.
