Err I don't know about that

She said: “I was wondering if it would be possible to perhaps make a request that members of departments think about their communication to councillors a little bit better. "
This is also peak Britishness. The amount of hedging in that sentence. It's so indirect it almost misses.
"Wondering", "possible", "perhaps", "request", "think about", "little bit".
From the other side of the pond, I find this tendency for understatement impressive. If anything, it gives one more headroom for expression. If understatement is "normal", and direct statements are a kind of exaggeration, then overstatement must be a whole other tier we don't even have in the US: we have to say that part louder, instead.
Edit: I also read that sentence as: "I'm putting you on notice with ample room to save face, but ignoring my generosity is going to come off as very rude."
as a german citizen, it's almost impressive.
the A7 thingymajig has been under construction since 2020, and there's always at least one construction site every 5 km.
my current drive to work has 3 construction sites, each limited to 30km/h and littered with speed cameras.

Oh god you reminded me of Italy. As soon as you leave Slovenia and go towards Trieste and Venice on the Italian motorway you will see a fuckton of roadworks that have been going on for as far as I remember. Whoch is at least 10-15 years. That part of the road has never not been under construction
This sounds a lot like SH58 here in NZ, except there's been roadworks for at least a decade, on an almost continuous basis.
Bloody Council, eh?
