I’m assuming they meant the England flags that are attached to EVERY lamp post.. at least that’s how it is in our townBill_qaz wrote: ↑Fri Feb 20, 2026 2:15 pmWhat flags?moggiethouable wrote: ↑Thu Feb 19, 2026 3:13 pm Pull all the stupid flags down from the lamp posts above, mix them with tar and plug em.

OH, that why I didn't know what was meant, none where I live. Apart from the odd actual flag pole.

Glad Nell wasn't damaged, my Daughter ruined two tyres within a week on two different roads, its getting ridiculous.mrs.smith2012 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 20, 2026 9:40 pm Took Nell out for her longest drive yet… 50mph roads.. fell in a bloody pot hole
The thing was so big I could not avoid it…. Luckily I wasn’t doing 50 but it still made one heck of a bang. Nell is ok.. checked her over when we got home but not going near that road now til they fix it!
Dr Foster went to Gloucester.......myoldjalopy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 9:25 am Recently, I saw a man cycling through some floodwater. He went right down in the water, bike and all, because (as he explained to me when I asked what had happened) he went into a deep pothole!
Without getting all political on here I think there was some stuff happening on the news (which I didn’t really concern myself with) but it was kind of a protest thing where people were putting flags everywhere, the council gave up trying to take them down so now they are just everywhereBill_qaz wrote: ↑Fri Feb 20, 2026 11:12 pmOH, that why I didn't know what was meant, none where I live.

Ooh sorry to hear that! My husband and I used to frequently write off our cars as youngsters because we used to go on ghost hunts which often involved driving down potholed lanes to some abandoned house or somethingBill_qaz wrote: ↑Fri Feb 20, 2026 11:19 pmGlad Nell wasn't damaged, my Daughter ruined two tyres within a week on two different roads, its getting ridiculous.mrs.smith2012 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 20, 2026 9:40 pm Took Nell out for her longest drive yet… 50mph roads.. fell in a bloody pot hole

A guy on the regional news hit one on an E scooter and face planted the road. Ironic as it was a legally hired one, from the same council that hadn't repaired the road

Low profile wheel/tyre combinations don't help either.
There was a guy on our local news a few days ago, reporting that he had damaged a wheel & tyre on a pothole.
But in his tale, he said he hit a pot hole with a 'bump' and then a few minutes later he went up a kerb to clear the way for a Police car on Blues, and that's when the tyre 'went'.
What was he doing going up a kerb to get out of the way of the Police vehicle, especially with low profile tyres? I bet he wasn't down to 1mph to mount the kerb.
Damn Fool.
But yes, there's plenty of damn fools around.
