Give it time. It's only 10am so the weekend babelaas hasn't worn out yet

We have a mini shut-down in my area monthly when the 2 biggest traffic lights on Bowling Avenue are not working

Just another damp squib. Half the solution to all our problems is as simple and ticking the right box at on the voting ballot. But we won't because we will be distracted by social grants, free t-shirts and a KFC streetwise... I'm over this place...
