It’s only the council, no one will notice

There’s no question that local councils employ some of the biggest idiots around. The trouble is, they seem to go out of their way to employ even bigger idiots, upon whom they shower vast amounts of public money. Like the idiots at Swindon council, who employed a gang of jobbing yellow-line painters, who put two sets in alleys about a yard and a bit wide “to prevent parking in them”.
