...and marking things down on the shelf, only to find they've not been reduced at the checkout!: damn those Al Quaida retail assistant operatives!
Had the initial idea of Al Quaida sleeper cells randomly putting out cones all over the UK road network...
...then thought about a coordinated attack on M25, M1, M62, M6, M40/42?, turning motorway network into a giant inescapable roundabout.
A motoring expert from the AA, or 'What Hatchback' Magazine (or maybe Quentin Wilson), would say summatt like...
"...the plot would have turned the uk's motorway network into a de-facto, giant, inescapable roundabout, sucking in cars and vehicles from all areas of Britain, until such a time as the monumental centrifugal force generated would reach a critical mass, causing the earth to slow in it's rotation, hence producing accelerated climate change, and ultimately bringing about the downfall of western civilisation, into a post apocolyptical society within a few thousand years; also, stocks of family sized packs of 'Revels' and 'Malteasers' at 'Welcome Breaks' would run out within the first few hours."Plus, all the kind of stuff you've all kindly contributed!
...if anyone would want to run with this, add to, rewrite, or re-submit, please feel free!
Yours, LostLad (Ian) :0)
