don't work like that. We pays the money and get Trident missiles, feckless people on benefits, a friggin' war no one understands, tax breaks and dodges for mega wealthy people and big business, and what suffers? The rest.

Bit of a rant that :wink:

Its the same around here sadly.

The roads are absolutely shocking in most of West Yorkshire.

I was down in Warwickshire today on the new bike and the roads were much much better. Its very annoying to have to return home and be faced with 6ft long shallow pot holes which are not even marked for repair.

On a related note, I wish some of the biking organisations would make a stand against the use of loose chippings following road resurfacing. Its all very well and good (not really) asking cars to press the chippings instead of a road roller, but the chippings are a death trap for bikers. Dont the council have a "duty of care" to road users? Surely that would be at odds with the current system as they are placing bikers in danger.

I've often wondered if anyone has taken a case to court regarding such "loose chippings".
