A1(M) has them too. Appeared practically overnight in all the snow. More disturbingly where some works were done, there is a gap between 2 lanes in one place, a kind of rut. If you change lanes it feels kind of weird.

The taxi driver calmly replied "The good side".

Well, don't moan when the government raises the fuel duty. The money has to come from somewhere to fix them.

If duty is increased and the money is spent on the roads, fine, I don't have a problem with that!

We know all about this Churchy, try it on a motorbike and it gets even more 'interesting'...

Girly won't let me have a bike. Something abou "responsibilities" was mentioned I think but I was probably sulikng or beginning to glaze over at that point...

If it is any consolation, HMG are working hard to mitigate the effects of this by ensuring that the traffic jams are so bad, that it is impossible to get up to enough speed for these to cause severe damage. View the air travel chaos as a bonus in all this.
