A lot of truth in this meme!Cousin Jack wrote: Fri Apr 19, 2024 4:04 pm I report them frequently, reported 2 today. I expect a man in a transit pickup to turn up next week, put a bit of cold tarmac in the hole, smack it twice with the back of a shovel and report that it is fixed. The week after I will need to report it again
Is that Squint Westwood?
Not really, it's complete bollox. The Romans weren't around 4000 years ago, you have no idea where that tiny bit of pavement is or when it was built, Roman roads needed regular maintenance just like modern ones, horse and wagon traffic was as damaging to ancient roads as modern traffic is too modern roads, etc.

Go to Ostia Antica (Rome's Pompei) and you can see wheel ruts worn into the cobbles.

I really admire that man. 93! One of his (many) phrases that stick in my mind is “Don’t let the old man in”, referring to his attitude to life. I’m trying to learn from it!
It was apparently an unfortunate photo - here he is at the same event. Old, yes, but looking better than the first photo suggested.Taipan wrote: Sat Apr 20, 2024 10:53 am Tis indeed! Looks like his aged dramatically quickly but he's still working!!

My old man lived into his 90s when sadly he got diagnosed with delirium. That meant he had to give up shooting (crop protection) and plod took his guns away. That broke him as he was an outdoors type person and never wanted to gently into the good night! I always admired him for his attitude towards life. He said he could never understand his mates who retired and spent the rest of their lives going from "bed to chair and only watching tv as a past time"...When I was still working, Foal askedTaipan wrote: Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:02 pm He said he could never understand his mates who retired and spent the rest of their lives going from "bed to chair and only watching tv as a past time"...
