What have the Romans ever done for me?
Posted on November 05, 2009
"I never use Council services “ an acquaintance of mine, Peter, said to me recently, “apart from having my bin collected”. Peter is retired, likes to garden, walk, play golf and has an active life.
Typically he gets up about nine, uses the bathroom, showers, and fills the kettle for his cup of tea. Usually he will walk to the local shop for the paper, only becoming aware of the footpath if there is a fault in it. Sometimes he will drive to a shopping centre, and would be annoyed if he encountered a faulty traffic light or was delayed due to road maintenance works. Some afternoons he goes for a walk in the local park.
