Maybe potholes are actually intended as another traffic-calming measure? :idea: Bit like an inverted sleeping policeman. Very effective, and cost nothing to install. Win win!

I just assumed that the potholes were there to make third world migrants feel at home. They're so big in Bristol, even the potholes have got potholes. All the useless council does is paint white lines around them, which eventually fade and need to be repainted. Yet they still have taxpayers'...
