Class War in Oxford

BBC article made me chuckle.

Hey @J4MES OX4D what's happening to your city lately? 😄

 

Though, on a more sober note, anyone catch the new documentary on Redcar? Wish that kind of thing was prime time BBC.

LOL our council is still 60 years behind with the times and bathing in its own ignorance as usual! Funny how a fair few houses in the 'lower' class area of Cuttleslowe cost over £300,000 now but they wont surface the road because apparently it's still seen a 'scummy'...

 

Iconic picture showing the posh houses end and the council houses begin though

Hahahahahaha.

I would admit it does seem odd for them to stop and the point they did, but maybe that other half of the road really is in a lot better condition. Hard to tell without seeing it.

Whoever sprayed graffiti on it is a bellend anyway.

Speaking of bellends, apparently the quickest way to get potholes sorted is to spray paint a penis around it! 😂

It ain't much better https://www.google.com/maps/@51.7853454,-1.2646813,3a,75y,85.92h,60.37t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDt3c3zA3MDBwG3x369btEw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 with cracks galore and the bits that do look smoother down the road are laid with tyre-shredding tarmac. It's noisy as helll on that surface too. 

 

This is also coming from a council who's ethos is practically 'we'll only repair potholes until someone is killed because of it'😎
