Flag Day
- Thread starter Benipete
- Start date
Well I did hear that PB was thinking of moving house BeniWalked along Union St yesterday and noticed that a large number of paving flags had been removed and the area filled in with Tarmac.
Is someone on the council having a new patio layed.
The council have used an industrial cleaning machine on the flags to remove the chewing gum but it was so industrial it appears to have removed the sand and cement under the flags thus making them unsafe; great !
if thats the case, they should " Bounce" any anti-social git, caught spitting/throwing gum on the ground, if they are caught n make em contribute towards the removal costs.The council have used an industrial cleaning machine on the flags to remove the chewing gum but it was so industrial it appears to have removed the sand and cement under the flags thus making them unsafe; great !

Either that or they employed a posse of cowboys to lay them in the first place.
Should rename it Rodeo Drive.

Chewing gum cost each portion.... 3p
To remove from pavement .............. 10p

Well, nothing to do with the chewing gum, but didn't think you meant that... so do you think they have just replaced those flag stones with tarmac because of the cost Cashy ? Maybe it's only temporary ?
Seems a bit strange ...
The pavements are terrible all over town, maybe it would be better and safer to tarmac the lot

And it might save people putting injury claims into the councilHey, we might even get bubbles to burst in the Summer ...
Chewing gum is one of my pet hates because I often have to cut it out of my puppy's fur. How come it's ok to spit chewy out and you get fined for stubbing out a ciggie?
My mate has lent me a portable ashtray for my visit in a couple of weeks.....happen I should use Nicorette instead and spit as much as I like.

Bitmac is cheaper. However, it probably wasn't the council that dug this up. It was more than likely one of the statutory undertakers (gas, electric, cable etc). They are (rubbish) They use the 'emergency' works powers to circumvent the necessary requirements and dialogue with the council on replacing footway, carriageway etc with like-for-like materials.
