A few years ago
I had the misfortune of being involved on the periphery of a traffic accident. An artwork removals van had run into the back of a police car which had been shunted into a small hatchback which in turn had been pushed into a road bridge.
This series of shunts had caused a flat bed pickup coming the other way to spin, dumping its load of waste oil all over the road and starting an engine fire.
Now, engine fire plus waste oil on road equals high potential for very nasty blaze. The police from the car quickly moved everyone from the vehicles involved away from the scene with the exception of the driver of the hatchback who was trapped as the shunt had buckled the door frames, preventing him from getting out.
Things were looking very very bad indeed but the policeman closest to the car acted quick as a flash. He ran to the removal van and hauled open the back. He pulled out a painting ensconced within a sparkling golden frame.
Running over to the stricken hatchback he started to run the edge of the frame rapidly over the roof supports. Seeing what the first officer was doing the second member of the constabulary ran over to the van and grabbed a second portrait, "No!" shouted the first policeman "get one with the gold leaf on the frame!" So the second officer promptly dropped the portrait he was carrying and took a second and began to run the edge over the roof supports on the other side of the hatchback.
And then, while we stood and watched, what seemed like a miracle occured. The two policemen threw down their paintings and heaved at the roof of the hatchback. With a crack of glass, the roof came away from the body of the car.
The policemen heaved the stricken driver from his seat and dragged him clear, just seconds before the fumes from the oil ignited.
The now considerable crowd ran over to the policemen to offer what assistance we could, I took off my coat and used it to support the drivers head as he lay on the floor. In the distance we could hear the approaching sirens of the emergency services. A women standing near me was standing open mouthed in astonishment. "But, but, officer, how did you cut through the roof of the car using only the edge of a gold framed portrait?"
The policeman turned and shrugged, "It was nothing really" he said, as his gaze swept over the now blazing vehicles "We just used Gilt-y Police Saws."

Dear Mr "big al" thgrde,
Badly‑managed roadworks are a headache for Londoners and a drain on our economy.
I have just introduced new, tighter standards for roadworks and making it easier for you to tell us when you spot sloppy examples so we can take action to sort it out. If you drive in London, you can report sites that don’t come up to scratch at tfl.gov.uk/roadworks
TfL has pledged that all its roadworks will meet these standards. Any other organisation working on TfL’s roads will be monitored using CCTV and traffic police community support officers.
Most roads in London are managed by local boroughs, so I’m asking them to meet the standards too. Your reports will be passed directly to the relevant authority, and my team will work to ensure improvements are made.
We are getting laws put in place by next year that allow us to properly charge for working on our roads - creating a real incentive to do works with minimum disruption.
In the meantime, thank you for your help in keeping London moving.
Yours sincerely,
Boris Johnson
Mayor of London and Chairman of Transport for London
Is it it coming up to an election?

only after a substantial Q, when you are stuck in gridlocked traffic with no other options, does a little sign pop up saying: "underpass closed, please seek alternative route". you fucking stupid fucking fuckers, i would have done, if you had put this sign somewhere useful, like where people actually had a choice of routes. also, the diversion over southwark bridge? also chock-full of roadworks and down to one lane. you stole about an hour of my life making me sit in that traffic and i WANT IT BACK.
