Sadly it appears to do the rounds with any current politician inserted - I think I first heard it with Regan:

Two council workers were working in the road outside my house.

One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in.

After a while, I asked: "Why do you dig a hole, only to have your mate follow behind and fill it up again?"

The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the lad who plants the trees called in sick."

In response to the comment "I'd love that to be true!" - it is sad it wasn't true.

That one is true. A good friend was a manager at a works in the Caucasus and did indeed see the workmen walking down the approach road to the offices doing exactly that. A throw back to the Communist times when each person had a job and got paid for doing that and nothing else.

In similar vein - Italy, rather than France I suspect from the number plate:

Harry Hill is not sure that private education is worth the money. The comedian sent his daughter to an expensive school but was concerned by the gaps in her knowledge when he helped her to prepare for a geography exam on the countries of Europe. She could identify France and Germany easily enough but he got a blank face when he pointed at Switzerland. “I’ll give you a clue,” said Hill, above. “It’s famous for cuckoo clocks and chocolate.” She thought for a second and replied: “Harrods?” At this point, Hill tells the Parenting Hell podcast, he realised he might be spoiling her.
