I was brought up thinking the future would mean that we would all be wearing metallic suits without collars but:
- We have subways that for some reason are poorly lit. (why?)
- Road repairs are never as good as the original surface despite claims that the reinstatement will be as good.
- We have roundabouts that need traffic lights.
- Although a junction has 10,000 vehicles per day we have to spend loads of dosh because 10 cyclists used it one day 3 years ago and the odd wandering tramp tried to cross the road.
- The Science Museum has a door that opens when you walk towards it - wow!
- Roads designed for 50 MPH have 20 MPH limits impose even though they have railings to deter people from crossing - but they climb the railings.
- People die trying to "improve" the appearance of Underground Trains.
- If you improve your front garden it will increase the chances of it getting vandalised.
- Councils no longer maintain anything - but happily commission new buildings - but claim to be environmentally aware.
