Midsomer Norton and Radstock town councils have confirmed that roadworks occur just to annoy you.
A council spokesperson confirmed the news after Norton and Radstock strategically places roadworks and temporary traffic lights on nearly every busy road in the area.
“Seriously, what do you actually think we’re doing down there?” asked council road worker Jerome Bustyfield, “Do you think magical, underground alligators are biting holes in the pipes and we have go fill ‘em in, or something?”
“Or perhaps even more ludicrously you think we’re actually laying down those Fibre Optic cables that BT has been promising for the best part of a decade now?”
“You’re having a laugh son. We’re down there dusting cobwebs and reading Nuts magazine whilst you’re above ground in a queue of traffic stretching back 3 miles deliberating whether you’re pro-active enough to buy a bicycle.
Oh and that shitstorm in the middle of Radstock every rush hour? We’re building an underground den. That’s right. An underground fucking den.
And your suspicions are absolutely correct. We are laughing at you.
All of the fucking time.”
