Comments on: Premier Burt Travels To Europe For Meetings https://bernews.com/2023/10/premier-burt-travels-to-europe-for-key-meetings/ Bermuda's #1 source for 24/7 breaking news, photos & videos Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:04:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.7.5 By: Joe Bloggs https://bernews.com/2023/10/premier-burt-travels-to-europe-for-key-meetings/#comment-5909237 Wed, 04 Oct 2023 10:35:38 +0000 https://bernews.com/?p=1339296#comment-5909237 My comment had nothing to do with people who wish to “tinker in your own yard driveway”. I encourage such experimentation.

My comment was about “someone” who was going to assess our public roads (the ones that residents and tourists travel on every day) and recommend a solution to the potholes that continually develop. Someone who will have access to data about the weights of different vehicles, someone understands the difference between live loads and dead loads, someone who understands the effects of lateral forces and has the knowledge and ability to mathematically calculate what is needed to prevent a collapse due to the effects of live loads, dead loads, and lateral forces.

Bermuda was once known for everyone wearing many hats and the only required hat needed to were those hats was common sense.

it required no assistance from gov or anyone to research and tinker in your own yard driveway. if you come up with something let people know show and tell and it will find its way to gov for their civil engineers to evaluate. i am not even that old and i can remember those days of common sense
the island don’t need a bunch of sideline spectators and complainers the island needs Thinker and Doers get your hands dirty and get in or i don’t even got to tell you its common sense

Seems like months since the last one was published.

A full listing of trips and their benefits to Bermuda would be interesting.

Racking up the air miles in his name to be used when he is no longer Premier.

Nice.

I only care that the “someone” is an appropriately qualified civil engineer registered with the Bermuda Association of Professional Engineers

Can’t wait to see his expenses from this trip! First Class airfare, 5-star hotels, private limo transportation… you know, the usual.
