They tend to say they'll pass the information on to the Council or the Highways Agency which is good when you see one at 10pm and the offices are closed (and I don't have a number for them anyway).The point is though that if the spill has been reported then the council is responsible for cleaning it up.
If anyone were to have an accident on it then the council would be liable and could have a claim made against them for damages. It's not much use when you're lying in the road in pain but at least you'll have some comeback.
In the past I've phoned the police directly and tried to get through to traffic. They're more likely to do something to prevent any accidents.
Well done for reporting them though mate, it's what everyone should do :thumbup
