Roadwork rage

EVERYWHERE I drive there are roadworks. The digging here, the digging there, is never-ending.

What with temporary traffic lights, bollards and road closures, it seems there isn’t a day when I’m not stuck in a line of traffic.

Usually there’s not a worker in sight, but the potholes, broken slabs and lumpy Tarmac are still there.
