jon_273 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Mate thats really unlucky, I'm sure you'll have it sorted in to time though. Theres a roundabout on my way to work which has had all the road surface stripped off it, I came off a night shift, was dark with no signs, I hit the 2" step where the road surface starts again at 40mph, it was like driving into a curb. Stupid council Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 i decided rather than go check them when i got back from work i would have a beer or two , or 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 *huggles*Poopy news But a beer or 5 sounds like a much better idea than going to check out the other damage.Don't forget, lots of pictures ASAP, get in a good complaint now and hopefully they will respond - remind them about the other one too.p.s. One of my housemates is going to come tomorrow as it doesn't sound like you'll be fixed in time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
