 A217 , do they have a clue ?? - Kevin
I have no respect whatsoever for the Highways Agency. A while ago I was on my way home down the A33 from M4 J11 to Basingstoke. It was late evening, dark and had been P'ing it down all day. About 2 miles along the dual carriageway section from J11 I came across a huge puddle covering the entire nearside lane just before the bridge over the road. Very difficult to spot until almost too late and, at a guess, about 6 inches deep along the edge of the road.
When I got home I rang the HA to report it as bally dangerous. They didn't want to know. "Sorry Sir, that's not a trunk road so it isn't our responsibility. You'll have to ring the council but they'll be closed until tomorrow morning."
"Look" says I, "If someone hits that at 70mph they're going straight into the bridge support or the Armco and there's one of your 4x4's parked doing nothing at J11!"
"In that case Sir, you should call the Police."

Onanists!
