Why do people ignore 'Road Closed" signs? Road outside the family home s closed to solve a water leak; Has been since Thursday night but people continue to use the road ignoring the sign. The water company workers turned people around when they working there Friday and Saturday.
Today we had a bloke come to the front door asking for help - he'd forced his way past the road closure, well at least tried to but in doing so his car had slipped into the ditch and he is now stuck. We refused not having a suitable vehicle but did offer to let him call for help on our telephone.
I think he thought we knew someone who owned a tractor to do the towing (actually I know 2 people with tractors; one has a daylight only tractor, the other farmer I'd just left in the Pub with his family so he wouldn't wish to be disturbed for the sake of a silly driver.
