Default Heads up!!
Just a heads up guys but work starts tomorrow on the a259 between Newhaven and Seaford for three days, I've been told their going to be putting loose gravel (or whatever they use) across the road.

I would advise you not to take your scoobies or any other pride and joy you have that way, as pebble dash is going to be a definite for the next week or so.

Even you went really slow, you just know that there would be some tool going really fast the other way towards you.

They did the main road in Bognor a couple of days before the hottest day of the year, the tar melted and all the gravel came up!

Well after sitting in the traffic for over an hour last nite, my misus was driving up the seaford stretch (2 lane bit) whatever you want to call it at the 20 mph they give otherwise you trash your car, when some t*at in a 13 plate merc went hammering past her plastering the car in stones. Obviously showing how big his man hood was in what was probably his company car, clearly wasn't that big as when she was telling him to pull over so she could rip said man hood off he didn't want to know funnily enough! W*anker, what a c*ck he clearly knew he was in the wrong hence he wouldn't stop. P.s thanks for the stone chips!!
Rant over
