Understand exactly what you're saying , i have a similar problem round my way and does my head in, our roads in this country are a !Removed! joke, about time councils got a grip and especially manhole covers, why the hell do they invariably place them in line with our road wheels!! I don't know what a state to get into!!

Cheers Pete

I know pete ive just noiced has well my road tax has gone up. but i don't see the roads getting better if not worser and has those manhole covers something needs to be sorted over them the council don't give a toss.

!Removed! whinging poms bwahahaha :P

at least we dont have "skippy the bush kangaroo" jumping out from behind everything,and have to put four layers of scaffold poles round the front of our cars to keep them off ah but you dont have manhole covers out there do you......havnt got main drainage yet..........ha ha :P

Trust me guys, you can't complain about potholes before driving around Malta. I think our roads are the worst in Europe!

I wish it was just pot holes up here. On my journey to work, which is only 6 miles, I've got to put up with pot holes, ruts, broken road surfaces, stones falling out of hedges, branches hanging across the road and in some sections it isn't even wide enough for 2 cars to pass! And this allegedly passes for an A Road!

What do I pay my road tax for?

Erm, forthcoming council budget cuts mean your roads will get worse. Sorry!

Your right there dangull i think skippy is a control freak and does not get out much

Go and expect a pot-hole pommie lad you seem to enjoy that

Don't make me bash your heads together gents.

Mind you, if I was Fi.Es.Ta I think I'd be in a bad mood too. That Ashes defeat was just embarrassing for the Aussies. ;)

Lets hope if there are any pot holes in down under land lets hope skippy goes down them

I dont know if it was a pothole or just some bad cracks in a certain part of the road that I drive on quite regularly, which does give the car one hell of a jolt. I came out yesterday morning to wash my car and as I normally do, took the wheels off to clean and polish the alloys when I noticed on the

N.S.F. tyre it had a two inch slit and steel wires sticking out of the slit. I telephoned my local Tyre Shop (open on Sundays), to see if they had a tyre, as I would not trust it as it was in the side-wall. He ordered me a new tyre which was in by 9.30 a.m. this morning, and I had that fitted. It cost me £86.00, but the sad part was that the damaged tyre still had a good 6mm of useable tread over the whole surface. Not a happy bunny! GRRRRRRRRRRR

LOL!! Sometimes I think they (Ozzies)forget who put 'em there and why!! all those years ago

How annoying is that!!! And with 6mm of tread aswell :(

If you think £86 is bad, my dad run into a pothole (in our volvo s40) and bent the alloy out of shape causing the tyre to deflate slowly. He didn't notice the bent alloy so just pumped the tyre up. It deflated whilst he was driving it without him noticing which knackered the sidewall completely.

So for that one pothole, it cost £300 for the new alloy, and £130 for the new pirelli tyre. !Removed! expensive!!!

Not fair is it all that money because the roads we drive on are !Removed! and what do the council do about it nothing something should be done.
