Jinx

There can be no doubt that there was a real issue with the road.

It was just a two kilometre stretch of dead straight highway. Some said there was a jinx on it. Most sensible people laughed at the idea. There was definitely no problem with the condition of the road. It had a good surface and you would think it would be a pleasure to drive on. However, locals, who should know better, who used it occasionally, broke down. Tourists from out of town who took no notice of local gossip, until they drove on it, that is. They broke down. It all came to a head when the police went out there on motorbikes to monitor activity and each of them broke down, followed by a police car being sent to find out what was going on, when it too broke down, and this was followed by the tow truck that went out to their rescue them all, which in turn, broke down.

There are some that say that the day the newly licenced son of the council chairman who went out with his tow truck to give assistance to all of these vehicles, but only got halfway when his own truck broke down was the actual cause of the council having the road blocked off to all future traffic.

Whether this was true or not, it was done by having a set of huge concrete bollards placed at either end.

Someone on the town council suggested that now that the road was closed off, it should be rezoned and the area developed as an airport, something they had needed for some time. After all, it already had a runway.

It has to be said that there were those who thought this was a really bad idea!
