WATCHDOG SAYS

    

Wigan Council traffic planners. Not satisfied with having made Tyldesley a no go area, have now started on Mosley Common.
By putting bollards at the junction of Bridgewater and Mosley Common Road, they have reduced the traffic flow from Bridgewater Road to one lane, Traffic turning left to-wards the East Lancashire Road now have to que behind those unfortunate enough to have to head to-wards the 24/7 Tyldesley traffic jam.
No doubt the idiots responsible for this latest crackpot idea are trying their very best to boost the areas CO2 emissions to a world record level.

The Dustbin Lid Award from Watchdog

Get your winning flyers from:

A well deserved DBL must go to the staff of Little Hulton Post Office.
They must without a doubt be the most unhelpful Shop assistants in the world.
A colleague of mine who trades on Ebay sends out many parcels daily.
They are franked, but because the Royal Mail is now just as likely to lose parcels, as they are to deliver them, it is necessary to hand them in at a post office and obtain proof of posting.
He normally hands them in at Boothstown Post Office where he will place a parcel on the scale, tell the assistant how many of that weight and class, and the assistant prints out a receipt.
To-day because he was passing through Little Hulton he called in at little Hulton Post office with his parcels.
After waiting his turn he was told that he would have to fill out a posting form with each address and come back, he told them how it worked at Boothstown and the assistant said “I don’t have time to set the machine, I could be doing something better with my time whilst I am doing that”
My colleague pointed out that in the time taken by the conversation the job could have been done.
The assistant was adamant that she had better things to do with her time.
My colleague then took the parcels away from the counter, filled out the form, awaited his turn again, handed in the parcels, and got it stamped. The girl then said“ See you”
No you won’t was the reply.
So here for the staff at Little Hulton Post Office is this months “Dustbin Lid Award”
Enjoy!!!!
Hopefully my colleague has learned a lesson and will not take his parcels anywhere else but Boothstown in future. If he does he will get the next DBL
