I was there yesterday lunch time its scary what can happen

The protective fence was put up after the car was swallowed click on the picture to see more

Two brothers had an amazing escape when they drove into a 7ft hole that opened up in the middle of a main road.



Carl and Chris Nedic were flung forward as a front wheel of their new £24,000 pick-up truck crashed through the Tarmac, bringing the white Nissan Navara to a horrifying halt.



Both leaped from the vehicle only for the remains of the road surface to collapse minutes later, pitching the four-wheel drive nose first into the ground on the A464 at Boningale near Albrighton last night.

The Nedics are a domiciled family of Gipsies who I know very well. I wonder who laid the tarmac that failed?

So it`s not only in the TRNC that we get holes in the roads.

Domiciled Gypsies. I imagine they were more concerned about their delicate crystal balls than the tarmac ?

Bob,



You ever heard of Gypsies working for the highways department or laying tarmac on public A roads?



No, thought not.

It's all Seven Tents Water's fault an 18 " MAIN FAILED eroding the road and causing the collapse

Quote from Midlands Today a Seven Trent spokesman

" It is impossible to repair and update all the older parts of the network at once or the water bills would be exorbitant "

I'm paying 120 tl in Girni a year and 1456 tl (£560) in the UK and it rains all the time in the UK

Message 6. Gavin, seeing as I know the people, the location and what I was talking about. I will take your post as just another way of you increasing your post count. Nothing new there then!

No Bob just a way of trying to make you think twice before exercising your all-to-ready prejudices.

"I know the people, the location and what I was talking about. "

So, what you are intimating is... you know for a fact that these boys laid this stretch of tarmac? If so, your attention to detail is legendary to the point of unbelievable.... As in... I don't believe you.

Gavin I don't think I said, intimated or indicated that the Nedic boys laid the tarmac, not their game all!



They will however know who did. Your prejudice led you to read what you wanted into my posting. Funny that!

So you know they will know who did.... not very convincing is it?



As the fault seems to lie with the water authority hardly worth mentioning the layers of the tarmac.



How so my prejudice? What prejudice... oh I see - prejudice against meaningless... yep, you got me there!
