Le Grand-Pressigny has sub-contracted its road sweeping and we catch site of this fellow running through the village streets keeping then in order. Now, I had noticed a lot of garden debris along the kerb on Ave Andre Theuriet, probably off a trailer on its way to the decheterie and wondered when it would be cleaned up. It wasn't long until I heard the drone of the sweeper going down one side and back up the other. I did notice however that my parked car wasn't allowing him to clean the area underneath it (obviously) so he'd had to sweep around it. As he continued down the road I nipped out and moved my car in the hope he would see it on the way back up - albeit he would then be on the wrong side of the road. Being obviously conscientious he made a point of breaking off to cross over and finish the job...much impressed.
Even sub contractors have pride in their work and the local environment.... nice!
ReplyDeleteAnd he was probably impressed with you being conscientious!
ReplyDeleteYup, I hear them going past my house fairly often. They do a very good job of keeping the road gutters clear.
