Title: Pot Hole Time
Post by: omega3000 on 18 December 2012, 13:17:05
The seasonal make do amend pot hole bodging has commenced here , basically a flatbed with tar/mix on it with blokes chucking it in the holes  :( and its not the council that are doing it either . What a shambles , all the cars and lorries are just driving over it all and its coming out the holes just as quick as they fill them  ::)
These roads need totally re-skimming and re-surfacing , i wont mention the pavements  :'(

Merry Xmas  ;D ;D

Had to chuckle over the weekend....went to Brackley on Saturday, coming from the M40, we swung round the roundabout by the Esso garage on the A43, and ....Yaay, I shout...the've filled that big hole, and re-tarmaced a large panel....brilliant. :y
However....on the way back to the M40 last night, swung round the Esso  roundabout...and bang...I hit this hole,  I thought I must have wrecked the suspension.
Why is it they only do one side !!!!!!!!!!!! ??? ???

Never mind! They've ticked the "we've maintained the roads" box. The money they've saved by doing a cr@p job will pay for them to do it again next month another couple of pointless paper-pushers at the council offices.
