It's a trailer so should be handy enough to move.

They just need to push it into a nearby field and hang a Supermac's ad on the side.

What a f****g circus this is.
The road is finally ready to replace a section of road where there have been many fatalities.
Every day's delay costs productivity at an individual and national level.
Yet instead of ending the suffering of thousands, a day of fun is had by politicians of all levels, jaded news hacks looking for an easy soundbite and column inches, and C-list celebs looking for any bit of free publicity.

C'mon now, think of the poor politicians who had to take time out from running the country to remove that dangerous bit of ribbon obstructing the road.

Each red pixel is a poor motoring soul still being tormented this evening by a politician's ego.

Just went on it a while ago. It took about 8 minutes from start to finish. I was heading south bound and the first half of journey was fairly pleasant on the eye, nice view of the hills and trees.

Traffic was very heavy, more than likely there was a fair few heads, like me, just went on it for the craic.
