We made it out to the beach to look at this job. Ont way out there, at about 1 30, the main road was closed , scheduled to re-open at 3.00, so we took the detour.
That involes queuing up and waiting for a pilot vehicle to guide ya through. In this case we waited 25 mins. Then its about 25 mins of gravel roads ( alot less if ya wernt doing 30kph(.
Anyhu, on leaving at about 4.00 we thought we would be able to take the main rd home but when we get there, the detour sign Is still up. I joked that they had probably forgotten to take it down. So we make a left turn and head to the detour. We are the first car in the que so obviously we have just missed the pilot vehicle and will have to wait an age. We call over to the muppet sitting in the booth and ask if he knows how long it will be and why the main road aint open, he has no clue.
We sit for about 10 mins before me mates son , who left shortly before us, rings to ask where we are. Turns out he ignored the detour sign , went straight on and the main road was open.
The fucken muppets had forgotten rmto take the sign down. And worse they hadn't let the other team know they had opened the road so they were still running a pilot vehicale hours after ...
