Thats because its been a nippy winter.

I remember in the early 80s and also early 90s loads of potholes after particularly cold wintery snaps

Pouring tarmac into them you mean. Five minute fix that will last about a week.

Great - UK has no money to grit roads - subsequent neglect increases pot holes which we have no money to repair.

Alloy wheels buckled suspension wrecked compensation claims to councils which they cant pay.

I know lets put up road tax as a solution.  :y
