After the ignominy of having a Preston-based paving gang sealing driveways with milk (yes; milk), a ruse for which they were invited to spend some time in on of Her Maj's lesss salubrious addresses, we now have a gang in Manchestoh that actually set fire to a new driveway they were allegedly constructing.
Come on other regions: surely you have pillocks to challenge those up here in the hub of the nation, don't you?

I've seen mains gas and large cables in an inch of soil very easy to strike both with a shovel let alone a machine
