A very large and deep pot-hole has been discovered in the middle of a back road near Castle Hill, NSW. Council is said to be looking into it.

While they're standing around leaning on their shovels and brooms so they don't fall in, they'll need at least 4 lollypop men and two sets of timed traffic lights, plus the usual 100 cone markers and 100 barriers, at least 2x 60 kph signs and 10x 40 kph signs.  Should cost around half a mill by this afternoon half of which will be recouped by Cops with radars.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

What he said.
I might add it will take 1 week for a " Roadwork Project " sign to be erected stating it will cost 15 million shekels & 14 months to complete.
Thank you for your patience during construction......
