I noticed them too, loads and loads as you say .Very weird. Then, further along towards the Pyramids, there were loads of police and police cars milling outside the Chinese church just a bit up one of the side roads on the right. Wonder what all that was about?

How about someone contacting the council to find out what was going on? It's YOUR money they are spending/wasting. See if they can come up with any intelligent answer/excuse.

Before anyone points it out, I know that intelligence and WBC don't go together! mad

Funny thing is , they all looked as if they had come straight out of a showroom in term of being clean. All white, all the same,nose to tail. Didnt notice whether they had numberplates did you Jemark?

Only the smaller ones had ladders didnt they though? I thought all the big transit size ones looked parked as if they were out of commission rather than 'at a job' . What the heck job could require 20+ council vans all at once I wonder?---They would all have to have left at the same hometime because they were too tightly parked dont you think for most of them to move without the one in front or behind of them going first !

Ah, here is an interesting quote I seem to have picked up somewhere . Now let me think, who might it apply to ....Erm-- Oh yes I remember .

"Superiority complex is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person's feelings of superiority counter or conceal his or her feelings of inferiority."
