I drive round the Armley gyratory tonight, very carefully as I’m not familiar with the new road layout and it was dark. I can confirm there are indeed still a LOT of cones about.

That's a lovely sentiment. The bit at the end 😊

🥺 sometimes I think I need to give up on mumsnet, the relentless negativity and full on hostile responses on threads make me wonder wtf is going on with women. Then you post this.....the story, the photos, that's made my week, welcome to the world baby girl, I hope we can make it a place you'll want to be x

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/11/2023 20:29

I've been trying desperately not to get sidetracked by Leeds roadworks, but I have to ask, did they ever sort out that windtunnel?

On topic, that little girl might end up with so many middle names 😊

The one outside Bridgewater Place?

Yes, they erected "baffles" which look a bit strange but they have cut down the wind effect considerably. Still get gusts on windy days but not as bad.

I saw this story a few days ago and it made me smile so much - the photo is so lovely! Well done those women!

What a brilliant story!

Women are amazing.

What a story, I've teared up too!

That's made my day. Brilliant, quick thinking ladies!

3 wise women indeed. So glad mum and baby are doing well.

Can you imagine the families of those ladies later

'Hello love, how was your day?'

'Well....'

That is such a beautiful story! (And seconding the ludicrous number of coned-off roadworks around Leeds).

That's local to me. There are about eleventy billion cones in that part of town at the moment due to the powers that be strangling Leeds with roadworks.

Tis a lovely tale though!

Thank you for solving the mystery of the miraculous roadcones!

Yes!
What awesome wonderful resourceful courageous women! All of them.

Huge congratulations to the parents and what a beautiful start for that little girl. She will grow up with the story of these women and know that there is such potential for goodness in this sometimes hostile world.

A leg out the window?

I may have something in my eye. I love how incredibly happy the Mum looks holding her precious baby girl.

As an aside, there's loads of roadworks with excessive cones near us at the moment. The other weekend there was about 1 mile of cones cordoning off one lane of a two lane road with literally nothing happening behind them (completely empty space, no vehicles, no sign of work, nothing, for the whole of Saturday) - this is on a busy main road. The traffic's terrible - I've often wondered what the impact on emergency arrival times is. For all that people try and pull aside for ambulances, the near constant gridlock recently must hold them up. There seems to be no central planning or thought to it at all. At least 3 main routes into the nearest city have roadworks and that's where the only local hospital is and quite a few of the roads are apparently shut overnight too.

Anyway, very happy that this Mum and baby had a happy ending and some wonderful women stepped up at the critical time. Good on them for moving the cones! Glad to hear the excess was put to some good use!

My cynical self thought this was going to lead to an article that said ' Three vagina's with bodies attached, helped another vagina-owner birth a mini person with a vagina.'

Thankfully, that was not the case. Phew.

Mmmnotsure · 09/11/2023 22:58

Well done, them.

If it had been three wise women at the nativity they would have asked directions, got there in time, delivered the baby, cleaned the stable, and made a casserole when they left.

guinnessguzzler · 09/11/2023 22:35

What a story, thanks for sharing. Wise women indeed, well done!

MrsOvertonsWindow · 09/11/2023 22:23

Lovely article and thread 😍

IcakethereforeIam · 09/11/2023 22:19

There was definitely parking. I'm glad it's not just me wondering about the cones! 😁

Shuldda · 09/11/2023 22:06

That made me emotional. How wonderful
