Everyone will know I'm poor
I work for highways department for a council.

When we resurface & road a footpath, the residents are offered cheaper vehicle crossings.

A woman telephoned in ranting & raving, complaining about this offer,

Was it still too expensive ?
Perhaps she didn't like crossings etc etc ?

No ! she was complaining that if she didn't get a crossing her neighbours would think she was too poor & therefore we should install one for her for free to save her embarrassment.

You just can't argue with someone with logic like that ?

Length ? ooh about 2600 metres by 1.5 metres width

Confuzed
What exactly is a "vehicle crossing"?

@Miggy: Lowered pavement edge
to allow vehicles into the driveway.

My girlfriends parents
had the entrance to their drive moved as they had built a new garage. The council charged them about 4 grand to put in the new drop kerb and bit of hardstanding leading to the edge of their property. And then they turned up to do the work a month earlier than they had arranged, when they weren't even in the country.
