That’s what this guy must feel like.

I saw him a couple of weeks back, resetting the stones over a trench that had been dug to run some cables under the Market Square.

On Saturday, he was back, repaving over a sub-station that had been hidden below the square for ever and was relocated during the week to the cellar of new buildings facing the square.

He’s probably thinking

“Could they have at least TALKED to each other? Did they HAVE to let me do THAT, before they ripped THIS up?

Bloody Management…”

  2. >Somehow picked up a slight blue tinge, but they’re grey granite cobble stones (obviously irregular, meaning that the paver has to find the “best fit” for each stone.

  3. >It amazes me that the labor intensive job like this one is still allowed and that it has not been paved over. I only say that because all of our brick (hand laid) streets were either ripped up or paved over. Now, however, someone has seen the light, so to speak, and they are ripping up the pavement and teaching workers how to lay bricks back down. That is typical of government in this nation.I don’t think I have ever seen what appears to be blue bricks before. That is a remarkable change from red.
