Default pot holes!!

start rant.....: mad:

ok, i am well and truly pi$$ed off!

i have just torn a flap out of one of my new tyres and even worse than that i have dented and scratched the rim of one of my new white wheels!

i done it on a massive pot hole which i didn't see, whats more i wasn't even going that fast (about 25-30mph).

i dont know if it is just me, but the roads in my area are really starting to pi$$ me off there are sooooo many pot holes, WHAT AM I PAYING ALL MY MOTORING TAXES FOR!!!

Rant end

i had managed to keep the mint over the past month as well

You want to see the road from Braintree to Chelmsford , its like a motocross track. Its doing my head in. The road is the worst about here other than the Black Notley road which would rip your wheel off quick as that. The roads are getting worse and nobody is doing anything about it all and we are paying through the nose!!!! Pisses me off bigtime

The difference is that one is a form of shorthand, the other is an abbreviation.
The first is an unacceptable *******isation of the English language and the 2nd is an acceptable practice within said English language.

difficult to make a correction regarding English language and abbreviations when you cant get the abbreviation right in the first place!

You should see the state of the roads in Chelmsford. They're a fu*king disgrace. Especially, Wood St in Chelmsford that runs parallel to St. Johns hospital. Our road tax goes up every year, our council tax goes up and the roads get worse. Essex has one of the highest revenue of county's in England and the worst roads. Maybe they should spend more money on resurfacing the road than kitting out the police interceptor with new Evo's!!!!!

End of rate but if I get another punture I will be writing a letter to Chelmsford council.
