State of the Roads

Ah, I've seen that elsewhere and clearly didn't read the thread fully. It's been mentioned many times I'm sure; it certainly isn't my tip.

I’ve noticed they don’t even fill in all the potholes that they mark now.
I can only assume it’s because it’s different teams. The regular crew is just a transit which tips some tarmac into a wheel barrow which the chap dumps into the hole and jumps up and down a bit to compact - these repairs shouldn’t even be allowed, total waste of taxpayers money as they just get washed out by the heavy rain immediately.
And anything more serious which requires cutting out and properly patching needs the proper crew who appear as often as Santa Claus.

I quite liked it when the guy used to mark them out with a giant penis painted round them, so they were forced to come out and sort it for decency.

So I’ve just got a notification on my locked iPhone.. did you know you can use w3w to mark the location of potholes!

ET's looking different these days.

The headline accompanying this is that there's potholes "waist deep". That's a bit of a stretch, (no pun intended), but he's trying his best to sell it.

He looks like he's coming out of the hole tbh, sure he's not a morlock?

I was rather unimpressed with the number of potholes on the M40 yesterday. Local authority maintained roads I sort of understand the maintenance issues but Highways Agency? That’s just evidence of how badly run the country is currently.

I sent that link to gavster just the other day - our parents live near Chichester.

Good to know they still get out and are active

More than a few times on company meeting trips, I've been stuck approaching a bin-lid size and deep pothole, with nowhere to go, at >60mph and all you can do is just grit your teeth in case it destroys your wheel and tyre.

Absolutely fucking atrocious.
