There is a road on my way to work that is horrendous for pot holes, some of them are about 8 inches deep, and have previously been filled up but they always seem to sink. One of these actually was the buggar that buckled two of my alloys at Christmas.
They have today sprayed round about 80% of them with white paint and left a strip of nasty ones.
If I were to edge off the other bit with white paint do you think they wouldn't notice and fill them in also? As we have white ground marking spray.

I haven't been down there for a while. I usually drive past Pinewood to get to Gerrard's Cross.
Pinewood Road is awful! It's the road that bent my alloy and I ended up threatening Court action with Bucks Council with.

The people that actually fill these in must be laughing knowing they are in a job for life.
They fill a pot hole, a week later its back to how it was, and then its like that for about a century, or 3 billion complaints which ever comes first and then the cycle starts again.

Theyve probably just realised it will cost them less in the long run.

I love the fact we still have to have a guy to mark out the pot holes with white paint then someone come and fill them later
