"Were going on strike from.... psst, Sid, when's Christmas again?.. oh yeah, Lads We are Striking from the December 16 to January 3rd, Get your shopping in early before the 1 CM of tarmac we skimmed over the potholes for show crumbles and damages your car brothers"
Imagine driving along a stretch of roadworks and not seeing anyone working! Hard to believe but that will be the case with these strikes. Crazy times indeed.
We;; I lived through the winter of discontent in 1978/9 and I remember it well. It was the reason I emigrated for the first time. But it had nothing on what is lining up for this winter.
If you lived through the 70's then you will recall as clear as I that War in the middle east caused a global oil shortage, That caused spiralling inflation (Workers want more wages but that makes everything more expensive to produce:Repeat :Repeat)
You mean no miles of meaningless, empty, cordoned-off lanes of motorways with nobody actually working on them? Does that mean the hard shoulders will remain a little longer? Oh dearie me, how terrible...

People have seen no real wage growth in a decade whilst inflation makes it difficult for people to survive.

General strikes are effectively illegal.

So they are going to dig up a road and leave it unattended for 15 days instead of the usual 14 now?
How are yours getting fixed so quickly?

National highways don't do roadworks bro 😂 it's external contractors that do that.
