Okay, I noticed it was just the potholes after you mentioned it. And
Wolfie posted a link and makes it seem plausible that perhaps
Englanistanians just love melting infrastructure stories for some reason.
It may be like Drudge always posting stories about squalid conditions
being found among dozens or even hundreds of animals in a home. There is
almost always a story about animals being taken out of a house. If your
only contact with the outside world was Drudge, you may start to believe
that everyone had about a foot of cat feces on the floor of their homes.
