Yes they are Gav. It was actually on the news how the weather has affected the roads.

Lots of the nsl's near my gf's have large chunks missing.
Round my one, one annoying pot hole has been made just before a narrow bridge, so you can't dodge it because you have to be quite far over in case something i scoming the other way 
I have found though that when it dries out it seems to have more grip than before ?

They are quite large!

Aye - it's pretty horrendous around here. There is a massive one in Sainsbury's car park. No excuses for it there imho, especially the amount of money supermarkets make.

To be fair to the councils, a lot of damage has been done to the roads in the last few days, and in Bedford at least they haven't been out temporarily filling new holes that have appeared.

Loads have appeared round here, there's a massive one up the road, almost a perfect circle, looks like it's more than a foot across. More and more every day it seems

My road pisses me off, there was a load of real bad potholes and the road itself is really bumpy. The council had some cheap badgers come round, lay dirt cheap tarmac and most of it has now just come off. As you drive along you hear it flicking up into your arches. Absolute joke for a public road !

On some roads people must think I'm drunk the way I have to swerve to avoid pot holes. Fair enough 90% of them won't do anything but I'm not gonna take that risk if I can help it..

The roads round here are a fucking mess! The main road as I come out of my estate has pot holes/cracks everywhere. Seems to have got a lot worse lately so could be due to weather.
