How strong is a piece of string?



I walk past this everyday on the way to school. At the end of our lane on each side of the street were these barriers that are stopping you from tripping on the cracked, wonky side walk. I actually saw a man fix the other one over 6 months ago. These two corners have been like this for over a year or more.
The thing that I find the funniest is that barrier is secured with an orange string. What was the road works man thinking? I'll tie this 1 meter tall metal barrier with one tiny piece of string. Surely this will stop people stealing it or the wind blowing it down? Well to the road worker out there.... your thinking has worked, so I can't mock you. These barrier has been there for a year, and it is still standing!
Just a shame we can't walk on the path.

Have you mentioned this to your local gov. rep. Helen whatshername, that, saw you at you best!!!??? Surely, she could come out and view the unsafe footpath and stir some local gov. action to have it fixed. You could phone her and say 'hey, remember me and the kids, you know the lipstick and hair house .....'
