Poop Poop!

By Nelson

If you ask me, the economy is going to slowly cripple unless we make vast, strategic and long-term improvements to our road network.
Johnny, Hampshire

Strategic eh? Good idea. Might have to use that one myself. I say old chap, this might seem a little forward but would you consider taking on the job of Minister for Brumbrums?

    I read SYB every day, and normally find it very funny. But I don’t see what exactly is wrong with what Johnny is saying? In fact, I think he’s got it pretty much spot on. It so happens that I work in the transport sector, and I know full well that what Johnny is saying is exactly what was said recently by Professor Stephen Glaister CBE, Professor of Transport & Infrastructure at Imperial College, London.

    So there!

    I’m sure he did. But then he’s hardly going to propose that we end our transport problems (and a few others while we’re at it) by not transporting so much stuff is he? :)

    Johnny is just one of those Hampshire tarts that thinks he can make predictions like this and sound like some kind of soothsayer.

    i would like to say on behalf of Hampshire Tarts Alliance(HTA)….in no way does jonny represent the HTA of our view.

    We should just build Johnny a special road.

    Mo, I believe you are referring to the road that Chris Rea immortalised in his classic hit single, “Road to Hell”

    At least Prof. Glaister has the advantage that people might actually ask him.

    ‘Round here, surely?

    No! Oh, just forget I exist.

    And there was I thinking tiny, short-term improvements were the way forward. Silly me. It’s obvious now that I think about it.
