LAZY CITY WORKERS? NAW - IT COULDN'T BE!
Workmen are cone idle WORKMEN painting double yellow lines couldn?t be bothered to move a cone in their way ? so they swerved round it. The slapdash council crew were marking a busy street when they were confronted by the lightweight obstacle. But rather than stopping their machine in the heart of Huddersfield, West Yorks, they steered past the cone ? creating wobbly double lines 18ins into the road. Witnesses were stunned. Dean Lofthouse, 38, said: ?It drew quite a crowd when it happened. ?Everyone thought the workmen must have a sense of humour ? or had a large liquid lunch.? Market trader Les Rushworth, 44, added: ?It is amazing they didn?t just pick the cone up.? When Kirklees Council heard about the wonky lines, a source said: ?You are joking?? Later, transport chief David Payne admitted: ?You would expect somebody to move a cone but nevertheless the lines will still do their job. ?It may look untidy but it serves a purpose.? The lines were straightened yesterday and a contractor will be quizzed.
