Curbside A-Peel

If you happen to come to visit me sometime, take a look at the side of the road as you drive down Edenridge, just before you get to my street. You will see orange traffic cones at the side of the road, marking off sections of the concrete curb. They're tearing it up. Again. The very same section of curb has been torn up at least three times within the last year, most recently this past August. This is my impression of the work order from city hall:

  1. Apply jackhammer to 100 meters of curb along Edenridge
  2. Remove debris
  3. Pour concrete to form new curbs
  4. Repeat
Your tax dollars at work.

The truth is that the software that is used to manage London was written in BASIC. Poorly. Using goto statements. This is why they are so frowned upon.
