I have just had a few days away in welsh Barmouth........I decided not to take the 2 because it is so bumpy, and its quite a few miles. So I took the Disco.
BUT.....I noticed that after bumping through Herefordshire and Shropshire, we came into Wales...Wow what a difference, the rest of the journey was like driving on Pendine sands, or a giant billard table. Lovely smooth tarmac, right to the edge. No potholes, and no obvious repairs.   A pleasure to drive on.
So why can't we have roads like that in England I wonder.   I would take my Series 2 for longer journies if we had.

Very important for politicians to feel they're appreciated and road users outnumber the sick.

Perhaps they encourage their officials

^^^ that would certainly be an effective way of getting promises kept 

having said that we'd need the current Ford truck factory strike to be cancelled to get all the Brexit promises kept
