Pensioner To Spend Day Watching Council Workers Tarmac Road

ENRAPTURED by the delicate labour-intensive ballet performed by a dozen or so council workers, local pensioner Peter Foley can’t believe his luck at encountering such an exceptional sight while on his daily nose around the neighbourhood.

Frozen on the spot for the last 3 hours and showing no signs of a desire to move on, Foley has his eyes locked on the hi-vis wearing workers, monitoring their everyone move while never hinting at an interest in asking a question.

“Is that not a sculpture, like an art display thingymajig?” queried one worker Sean Dinane who thought Foley’s static presence, much like council road works, was a constant inanimate presence, seemingly there since the dawn of time.

“We have, in my home country, these man too. Like a fly and the honey, they can’t resist, the tarmac calls to them,” offered Latvian local Artjoms Tretjakovs, who gave Foley nods of acknowledgments throughout the day but received none back.

Discerning Foley’s innermost thoughts as to the tarmac laying has proven difficult with many fearing it was his intention to complain about the noise however, his presence for 3 hours without gruffly interrogating the workers suggests, the harmless and quite cute 72-year-old is fascinated by the simple pursuits of life.

“It’s none of that, I buried my first wife under the road the last time they were doing it up, and I’m fucked if they find her,” concluded Foley.
