road building

I guess all the roads are being rebuilt and new ones being created to give folk jobs and the construction firms lots of dosh....................surely the money could be spent on less destructive projects..whilst still giving employment..........

How is it also that in Barnsley where unemployment is high lots of land is being given over to building warehouses and offices and the employment level remains the same.....

am bit miserable because a young blackbird fell into a water trough whilst trying to drink in my garden...and drowned........I know there is so much beauty in this world but why do I feel so pessimistic about 21st century Britain..
