With due deference to our non-London readers, here’s an ultra condensed version of London Mayor Boris Johnson and the roadworks:
Two years ago Boris Johnson promises to do something about the number of times London streets get dug up with a “holy war on holey streets”.
Two years on, the holy war has yet to start and instead it’s been reconfigured.
Now he’s promising one meeting a year.
But not just any meeting. It’ll be A SUMMIT.
A rather peaceful and slow moving kind of war really.

Perish the thought that I should say anything positive about Blasted Boris …
Do I recall him arguing that Boroughs and TfL should have greater controls over the activities of the utilities? Now, that one seemed untypically sensible, at least to me.
Of course, nearly two years on, it — typically — has come to nothing.
