A crash of Delivery Drivers

 
An obstruction of Bin Men

 
A difficulty of Tax Inspectors

 
A guarantee of Electrical Appliance Salesmen

 
A grope of Film Producers

 
A shrug of Teenagers

 
An expectation of Postmen

 
A splinter of Carpenters

 
A delay of Solicitors

 
An argument of Barristers

 
A whistle of Engine Drivers

 
An articulation of Lorry Drivers

 
A sweat of Runners

 
A nuisance of cyclists

 
A scream of Children

 
A trellis of Gardeners

 
An impatience of Car Drivers

 
An annoyance of Parking Attendants
