AN EXERCISE IN THE ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS

Recently spotted in Cyprus. Picture this - two men in the height of the blistering midday sun beside a motorway with nothing around but acres and acres of scrubland. And what were they doing? Strimming! What was that all about?

Was their supervisor in a bad mood that morning? Did he get into work and think “What am I going to do with these two wasters today? Fred, get the van out and drop them into the middle of the wilderness on that deserted highway as far away from civilisation as possible, they can’t do much harm there”

If only I had those powers!
