Why can't workmen fill in all the damn potholes in a street while they've got the tarmac to hand, rather than just filling in the biggest ones?


And what the feck are they making roads with these days, is it some form of marmite and breadcrumb combo?
They just seem to be disintergrating really quickly.

Do you live near me? It's really shite the way they repair roads round here. They even stopped tarmacing in the middle of a rut because the depth was marginally less than the minimum. FFS, what do they think will happen next, the bleeding new tarmac will peel up because the jobs not finished properly.

I took a different route home last night so had to keep my eyes peeled for potholes, but still ended up whacking one full on, but they look like they've been dug with a shovel these days rather than just slowly growing bigger.
I've never seen so many that are so bad before.
It's a proper nightmare when riding in the dark, especially if it's raining 'cos they just fill up with water and resemble a puddle.  :grumble
