Take decent pictures, with something in shot to show scale. Keep all invoices etc and put in a formal complaint to council. If unsuccessful it maybe worth taking it to small claims court.

You can fill out a form from the council. What road was it?

in deeplish. full of pot holes and speed bumps. not sure what the road itself called but i know how to get to it. and i drove a few 100mtrs away before i realised the car was pulling as it was flat. as i was driving slow due to the bumps.

Yes of course you can! You've incurred damage to your vehicle and thus have out of pocket expenses due to lack of maintenance on the road they are responsible for. That's assuming the road in question is a council owned road.

It all depends on if it's been reported and how long it's been reported if they payout willingly or if you have to take them to court.

Lots of things have made me grumpy today

no it stings bad, washed it out an though best dont look into the hole when spraying them again, then did it again on the third one :bang: it stung all the skin on my face that time too don't remember that ever happening before if there is no posts from me tomorrow you know ive gone blind

The young chap over the road had to go into hospital for a minor surgical procedure this afternoon, so Mrs. Beard volunteered to take him down there and then pick him up afterwards.

"Why don't you come as well?" She said to me, "Then we can get some lunch." Seemed like a good idea to me.

We dropped the neighbour off at hospital and ended up at the Trafford Centre. Mrs. Beard said she was just looking for a skirt. She knew exactly what she wanted so it wouldn't take long. It should have clicked really, that if she knew just what she wanted, then almost everything in the shops wasn't what she wanted.

Debenhams, Selfridges, Quote and about nine other shops. Eventually we found New Look and (almost) exactly what she wanted. Thank God for that. Unfortunately, we happened to stop in at Marks & Spencer and.....guess what, yes she found a skirt that was even more "exactly what she wanted".

As we tried to make our way back to the M60 in standing traffic, it occurred to me that I'd rather have swapped places with Alan our neighbour and let him go shopping with the wife and I'd have had the surgical procedure.

But then again, he was having a circumcision, so maybe not...............

Is the word you're looking for "euphamism?"


Is that how you spell it?
