So should that be "this road will reopen dreckly"?
Although I'm also tempted by story ideas about an intrepid trans-dimensional postman who can whizz past all obstacles, although possibly with many adventures en route, probably enough to fill a multi-book contract. And his cat.
They might as well have put 'dreckly' on the sign, really!
I don't know about that particular postman, but there's a postman on our round who could write a guidebook to 'peaceful unobserved spots for fag-breaks'. I keep stumbling over him, it's now got past the 'mildly awkward' stage into a sort of shared conspiracy, and I nod cheerily at him having a fag-break in full consciousness that I am walking dogs when I really should be working. :-D
This reminds me of the 'Road Closed' signs on the road from which my street turns; in practice it was open almost all the time, if you were willing to drive slowly and know that traffic was single file and at odd angles.
