Just a series of potholes and craters, strung together with small bits of tarmac. One of the speedbumps just by me has all but disintegrated and it was only put there four months ago. Its countrywide, austerity innit I can think of some streets around here where the speed bumps are the best bit of the road. I can also think of one set of speed bumps that are the cause of the road degradation around them causing the area immediately around them to be potholed thus making the speed bumps effectively higher. The council even "repaired" some potholes at the edge of our village, the repairs were that good they lasted maybe 6 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 There is a road just off where I live that was absolutely ridiculous when we moved in about 6 years ago. It was as though the road connected to an isolated farm in Sri Lanka rather than two busy main roads in a town. It was genuinely ruining my car driving over it every day. Any I complained and no doubt others did and eventually the following year the council completely relayed the road. It was a thing of beauty! One quiet evening o walked down the middle of it marvelling at how lovely a new bit of Tarmac could look. It was a real joy to drive down it each day. About 4 months later they dug the bleeding thing up for road works! Now all the seams of the digging have turned into potholes again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can beat that, the road outside an old house of ours was completely relayed and dug up the following week to replace the entire sewer system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 After having an engine management light on, I booked an appointment last Friday, upon which they said it couldn’t be driven, and wouldn’t be ready until the middle of the week. The plus side was that it was covered in the warranty, but with no courtesy car available i’ve had to hire one, as we had plans the weekend and live in the country with no public transport so the Mrs needs it for her and the kids. They haven’t even had the part delivered yet, the dealership were told they had to to more tests before they could claim the part under the warranty but none of this has been said until now despite me ringing several times. At this rate I would have been better just paying for the work to be done, rather than being messed about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm always hoping the neighbours aren't watching when I'm mowing my lawn, I make an absolute mess of it. I really hope they're not looking when I push it through what used to be flower beds but are now mainly weed beds. Luckily my mower is pretty good at handling stingers and dandelions.

CBA to check now, but that was probably one of my first votes in this thread. I hate them with an irrational passion (even though some of my best friends have them). If somebody gifted me MJM 1, I'd sell it as fast as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone I worked with had a private plate, and when I first saw it, I told him looked like it said King Rollo, and asked if he was a fan of the early 80s kids TV show? He wasn't best pleased, and apparently it was supposed to say Karlo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone forgets about the Duke. To be fair they don't really advertise it well. My sister and my mum met me there on the weekend, they have lived in Sutton for over 40 years and neither of them knew it existed until last weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
