Burst the tyre hitting a pothole the other day. Got a new one fitted now (£68) and thought that getting the council to pay would be too much hastle, pics of the hole, letters to them, phone calls etc. A lad my lass knows, came in to the petrol station where she works and said same has happened to him. He went to the highways office (or somewhere), ranted a bit and they said "Fine, we'll pay". Is it really as easy as that ? What's your experience guys ? cheeRS
