Yet, some very I've-nothing-better-to-do ones believe it's their duty to tell us the raving obvious! So they get hold of their keyboards and type away these very original statuses - 'it's rainingg!!! :s' We understand that the Maltese are rather deprived when it comes to these things... but let's not overdo it, shall we?
However, that's not the only way you realise it has rained cats and dogs in Malta.
No, there's a more appallingly tangible way.
How? Just have a look at this:
Now that's a photo taken next to Gzira's secondary school.
Let's just ignore the trash running around for the time being.
We were in a cab, on our way home, right after work - we felt like pampering ourselves, and Arriva can't match Ecabs when it comes to comfort.
Anyway, the driver had quite a problem avoiding that thing because cars were parked on the other side of this rather narrow road.
In any case - why on earth didn't the Local Council act on it immediately? ...you know, with kids having to go through there, it's not something to ignore. And even if it weren't for the kids, they should still do their jobs! ...and if they think that the biggish stone put there is enough, then they should all be dismissed.
We just had to stop the driver in order to take a photo to share with our readers.
The drivers from the cars behind all nodded as we're sure they noticed we were doing so to report it. And we duly did!
We took this photo at 11am and we were told that nothing had been done about it till 2pm!
P.S. What's even more worrying is the fact that such incidents are not one-offs. Potholes - and we're not talking about the slight surface ones - are a bit of a common sight in the streets after it rains.
Where is safety on the roads?
ReplyDeleteThere's a road near the Ta' Paris area where you literally have to pick the best hole to pass over, as in one part of the road it's like you're driving on the moon! Dx
