@PB, hope you feel a little better soon...I know how you feel, but thing to remember is at least its only a lump of metal. The most irritating thing is the cost of repairs, very closely followed by the fact that the Council should be maintaining the roads. Grrrr!
Perhaps, you should report the potholes etc and send the Council a copy of your bill? It will probably get filed in the 'circular filing system' but you never know there may be, just may be, a nice conscientious employee who thinks you have a point. Occasionally miracles do happen!!
Anyhoo an IOU for a nice cuppa tea with a slice of cake n a hug might cheer ya up a tad ** winging its way eastwards towards Draxula**
Have to admit that this time it's not the councils fault! The pothole I hit was on a farm track leading into a field....had just needed to pull over off the road, and didn't see the darn thing till it was too late!
Glad to see you got your car back though...yaaaayy! Cake all round methinks!
