1010PM Council working on the roads is this some kind of record

Just back from a stroll and three workers with a pneumatic drill,full gear and council van were drilling outside a pub on the pavement,they looked busy which made me dubious they were real Council workers at first til I saw the van have NEVER EVER seen them work so late they must be on a good few quid overtime.
I used to know lots of Council gardeners who did as little as possible especially the ones who cut the grass normally would just do laps of the area to fill hours in and most were paid off.
