Post by: F Body on March 24, 2011, 09:18:01 PM
As I've said after the terrible tragedy in Japan, if anyone can recover they will (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)

This road was badly damaged by the quake :

Despite all the other things going on, it was repaired in only six days (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif)

That's Japanese workforce for you though, they expect and make quality. Over here I swear the council just put road repairs out to the cheapest 'mick and paddy' style outfit. Cost over quality etc.

There's a pothole on the way to work, since December to last week, it's had its 3rd or 4th refill. Once should be enough!

holy crap, that's impressive.

The Japanese psyche dictates a bad job brings shame on the person who did it, hence the reason they do absolutely everything to the best of their ability (do a bit of digging into how the RX-7 was developed for example!)

over here we are more interested in punching out at the end of the day than the actual job done..

It was mostly a PR stunt.  But impressive none the less. (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/beavisnbutthead.gif)
