    Hole in the ground with a guy sat in a van for 2 months now. Any idea how I can get a job like that?!

    Ask him, he'll probably be glad of something to alleviate his boredom. You could be the highlight of his day!!

    If he's still there in the morning I'll gently tap on his window...

    First you need to find a firm owned by someone who had a family member or friend to a Tory Minister ,
    They will ensure they get a contract whether they can carry out the jobs or not then pocket the money and leave the conglomerate they’ve assembled to sort themselves out how they see fit and divert the money for materials etc away from said job .imo

    He's just working out when his Tea breaks are, or he's on a Tea break. :)

    We'll send a search party out if you've not posted within 24 hours. If he's asleep though I'd leave it!

    The benefits of privatisation. Not that I'm blaming the T/M bloke, rather the privatisation of water works. An inter- departmental job that should take a day or two stretches into a multiple organisational job that takes months and costs infinately more. But Corbin.

    It’s a right farce. Been like this now for at least 5 weeks. All down to a dispute between the council and Yorkshire Water so I’ve heard.
    Ironic thing is the sign by hole in road says ‘short term disruption for long term gain’. Think they’ve got it the wrong way round……

    Can't believe there's only 1 of them. It's usually rule of 3. Might be covid

    After 2 months in a van, I'd probably look a bit pee'd off.
