Whilst sitting in a line of cars, waiting for the stop/go man to rotate his sign and let us go, I saw this sign to the left. Obviously their completion date is WAY out.

They most have their L Plates on and thus they will improve.:)

Glenda. What do you mean it's so late?
Clearly it's running way ahead of time, as it's ONLY less than
two years late, not the expected 15 or so.:p

An upgrade to that road has been a long time coming
Seems it has a long time to go still

Gee by time of completion the cost will probably have tripled, or even more :rolleyes:

Glenda Red Rover is an interesting name for a road. I believe the expression comes from Croquet, where that is the name of the final hoop, to be negociated before needing to hit a central peg, which finishes the game. This is called pegging out, which is also a colloquialism.
Not all croquet players are nescessarily old and near pegging out.

That's interesting Marty. An acquaintance asked if we would be interested in joining our local croquet club which he is in, but as we are planning another long trip this year we declined.
