Hi! I’m back. Sorry I’m late.
Hello. What kept you?
I had to use the ring road and I (stick) in a traffic jam for forty minutes.
Why didn’t you use the usual route?
Because the road (close) until work on the access road to the new hospital (complete).
When is it due to (finish)?
Well, the access road (open) by the Mayor next week, according to the newspaper, and the Health Minister (invite) to open the hospital on the same day, but they don’t know yet whether she’s definitely coming.
A lot of money (waste) if she doesn’t come.
Why is that?
Haven’t you seen all those rose bushes that (plant) round the hospital?
So? They’ll be lovely for the patients.
But the patients won’t bee able to see them, because they’re round the entrance, and the wards look out in the other direction. A lot of people protested about it, but all their complains (ignore) until it was too late.
If they had money to spare, it (spend) on facilities for patients, not on making the front look pretty for the Minister.
