Have you reported it, if not do so now, might save some poor other b*gger getting stuck like you did.

I've read before somewhere about how winter temporary patches sometimes dont repair well as the new tarmac doesnt fit in the hole well especially due to the cold temps during the winter...

if you can prove that road is generally in poor repair and is regularily being repaired, perhaps in the same location, then you can argue that the Highway authority is aware of the condition and is attempting to save money by attempting temporary repairs,
this is especially applicable if for example the same man hole keeps sinking and they just keep patching it up rather than replacing the cover and frame or the brickwork on the gully or chamber.

Guess what.

MrsMattsv has had a slow(ish) puncture for a few days.

She took it to get it repaired today, to be told that the rim is damaged - was on the inside of the rim so we could not see it. I tried to get the wheel off yesterday to have a look but the f&*^ing nuts had been torqued to about 15bn Nm.

She did smack a big pot hole the other week, so looks like that knackered it, although not as bad as yours Quiff.






Luckily I have found a place locally that can repair it for "about £30". Not sure exactly where she did it so no point going to the council...

I feel your pain ...

and I feel Anita's rim.

In your dreams

Get home tonight and she looks really pi55ed off - has left the buckled rim to be repaired, and got another puncture in another tyre on the rear - FFS
