  I had to laugh the other day when I read about the Queen Elizabeth School students who were left stranded when a bus driver failed to arrive earlier as arranged because he wasn't aware the roundabout was closed – not at the stranded children, but at the ridiculousness of the roundabout works being used as an excuse by the driver and the bus company.
