Are workmen on another planet?

Vic Barlow
30/ 4/2008

DRIVING into Macclesfield yesterday morning, I encountered a team of workmen erecting temporary traffic lights on Byrons Lane. When I returned at 3pm, the lights were working, but the men were not.

I queued at those lights in the rush-hour traffic today, but workers were there no. Now I don’t want to be alarmist, but is it possible these ‘workmen’ have been abducted by aliens eager to learn how to disrupt intergalactic travel?

   Next you'll be suggesting a traffic cone hotline a la John Major.

Ever thought about walking or taking public transport Vic?
