Regular readers to this blog may know my opinions of local authorities. So this story, from the BBC News website, needs no more comment from me.
A council has admitted workers painted a warning sign outside a nursery school despite it closing 10 years ago. The yellow zig-zag "school keep clear" sign has been painted in Aberdeen at St Peter's Nursery in The Spital.
The work - costing about £200 - was carried out despite the building being boarded up.
An Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said: "Staff have been instructed to check orders for all outstanding works to ensure they are still required."

Makes no odds, women in 4 x 4's will still park there.
Oops! And smack Adullmite for me!
It happens here in Los Angeles too! Despite a major budget crisis, our local and state governments throw money all over the place-- usually on signs telling the public that the Mayor or Governor are backers of the dollars spent to paint the sign patting themselves on the backs :-)
Hmmm makes ya wonder, eh?
Like how you bring out the accent, my ancestors are from Scotland and I want to visit someday.
