XB Feb 2018 9:20am, 15 Feb 2018 6,665 posts	Quote Pin XB Minor grinding by local paper headlines that say something like "MP slams decision to close village bank". When you read the article the local MP actually expressed disappointment at the decision and would be seeking a meeting with someone. A bit more major grinding from the state of the roads around here. It's probably the worst I've ever seen. And another one is 3-way temporary traffic lights. So much time wasted. Brng back stop/go boards.
