 I have got to drive from Stoke to the NEC tomorrow.

Then I hope that Solihull Council is not mowing the lawn again. This
is what they do: they wait until rush hour, at 08.15 they send a man
to a busy road junction near the NEC and he lays out cones reducing
the road to a single lane, then he puts more cones on the island, then
he waits and watches the traffic build-up until his colleagues arrive
to do the work at 9.30.

Cost: to industry:  300 people one hour late for work = 300 x �10 =
�3,000.
