Mess one

A drain cover in our road in an intermediate state, following surface dressing. No doubt it will look a lot better when the dressing covering the drain cover has been cut away, as per the pale yellow indicator, but I remain convinced that the machines with which they do the lines on the road are making a much messier job than of old.

No doubt the gang masters' vans which brings the gangs in say things on the side like 'working with Surrey to keep your roads spic & span'.
