White Line Painted Over Pile Of Manure
Updated : Mar 6, 2009
Workmen, in Devon, England, rushing to finish a job left locals amazed after painting a white line over a pile of horse manure.
The line painters claimed they had been too busy to spot the steaming pile on the roadside even though it was clearly visible.
Van driver Andy Smith, 35, who uses the road several times a day, said: 'The dung got flatter and flatter during the day as cars drove over it, but the white lines remained intact'.
The workmen claimed they simply 'hadn't noticed' the roadside hazard but after a barrage of phone calls council bosses say they will clean up the mess and repaint the line.
