Why can’t we go back to this! Same with roadworks in London!! 😂

This is why the sun once never set on the British Empire

Idea for an activities based quiz show involving time limited motorway repairs. My way or the highway.

Seriously? Ignoring the obvious health & safety stuff, that approach to pothole repair doesn't fix the underlying problem at all. It does, however, create a never-ending source of work for pothole-fillers.

To do that now would probably be a closure so a team to setup a diversion then another squad to fix. Probably £10k and a days traffic pain. On the positive the fix would be more comprehensive with the hole dug out and fixed with hot mix asphalt so a more permanent job and they could fix others on the closed road. Cost for this repair - £20 for the bag of cold mix and £100 for the guy and his van for the hour What’s your preference

Put a band-aid on it next!

Because it’s dangerous, you thick cunt

Peak male efficiency

Cos it’s dangerous and fucking useless as well!

"If you trip, I think that'll be the last time" - That's why you raving lunatic

I'm irritated by potholes but I'm also glad that fewer people are dying on UK roads.

Good idea. Although, instead of paying someone to do it, people who are caught littering should be forced to do, while dressed in a tutu.

it could always be worse...

Back in the day people were forced to have some common sense in order to stay alive. Look at us now with our kids eating washing pods. 😂

I've done this health n safety frown upon it you have to close rd ,temporary lights all that most of your day spent setting up for it

Motorcycle riders will love this.

Because some newbie gets squashed by a lorry and then the road gets shut down for a week.

When you next see the comment 'they don't build things like they used to', these are the people they are talking about.

Proof that mugs like you don’t actually grasp that all this accomplished was the pothole reopening in a week or so only bigger because that doesn’t fix the underlying cause and causes more wear to the surface.

Erm 🫤 because the roads are a lot busier for a start

Done a couple of jobs like this bit of Bitumen around edges 1st last 10 years

I know exactly why! A worker was hit by a car and broke his arm and leg because he wasn’t paying attention! The council were sued and changed the law!

@ClaretBluBlood health and safety in the work place slightly overlooked there

Council has gone green on the pothole map.

Pretty much the technique they use round here except the modern fill material appears to be breadcrumbs! #Useless

We would have 10 workers and the road would be closed for 3 days. lol

But can't he put a road sign there for drivers to see..☢️

buy some cold lay tarmac and do it yourself, run side to side on a slip road and see how long you last, silly fat bastard

If the lazy bastard bothered to get a shovel he would have done it in under a minute council workers for you

Harder to find folks prepared to risk their lives for a bucket of black stuff. Their families may get litigious too. Idiot!

Its like playing Frogger.

For those that scream about nationalising everything, this is how the council, water and electric board used to work.

I used to do this we called it Suicide patching will get the heart going. Safety peps put a stop to it. Now they use a truck with arrow board and two or more trucks with crash cushions & arrow boards

This is MTW worker in Barbados this morning.

Quality work there! Might last 2hrs if you’re lucky 😳🥱

I have watched them do this, using boots to flatten then driving off.
