This is just outside St John’s Cathedral. Now, do you parents of young children understand the stupendous educational value of those Fisher Price toys with different shapes that you slot into the same-shaped holes?

    They placed the manhole like that to annoy you, Daphne.

    I know that the point of this post is not St John’s as such, but please St John’s in Valletta is not a Cathedral but a Co-Cathedral — or, if we want to refer to it by its proper name, the former Conventual Church of the Knights.

    [Daphne – It’s a cathedral. Not all cathedrals are co-cathedrals but all co-cathedrals are cathedrals.]

    This is a reflection of the country’s lack of discipline to do things right, led by not one, but now two leaders, who are leading with the wrong example.

    And this time there was no reading and writing involved.

    Mind you, it’s the third of the three Rs: Reading, Riting and Rithmetic.

    The man who did the job could have been shown the right way to lay the slabs by a three year old.

    So the IQ of the workman involved is below that of toddler.

    This is unbelievable! A case of construction dyslexia maybe? I hope the contractor responsible was not paid for this atrocity and made to correct it immediately. Rehabilitation Projects Office please note.

    Li qeghdin taraw f’din l-istampa hija biss percezzjoni gheziez hbieb. Staqsu lil Perit Audrey Testaferrata De Noto li tahdhem fit-Traffic Management Division (Transport Malta) u malajr isserhilkhom raskhom.

    What idiots. They got the whole pavement wrong.

  15. U Le! says:

    I thought dyslexia was limited to writing. Now we can see it extends to tile laying.

    A cubist’s rendition of Yin Yang perhaps?

    Paint one of the keyhole squares white and we would be ready to welcome all the IVF experts invited to come over by Konrad Mizzi.

    What upsets me too are the chewing gum stains all over the paving. Next referendum – let’s ban chewing gum in public.

  20. Kevin says:

    OMG! Now look what you’ve done! Don’t get annoyed if they leave this one as is and change the rest of the paving, your fault.

    Reminds me of my youth playing Tetris and you ‘screw’ the last block
