After coming back to the UK after my European trip, it was even more noticable. The roads even in the mountains are fresh, well marked and showing no signs of wear!
Minimal road works, wide open motorways, clearly marked, with less traffic. You can really put your foot down on some of the roads they are that smooth. So smooth that you'd think you were driving on butter!
I landed back at Harwich and the A road heading away from Harwich was full of potholes, bumps, cracks, poorly lit, terrible road markings and unsafe unmarked bends!!
Considering how much money we pour into the government which is related to motoring is obscene!!
If the Europeans can get it right, even up the mountains, why can't we. This country is slowly going down the pan... Roads, Pensions, Taxation, Health, Schools, Drunks, unemployed (those that are lazy), benefit scams... the list could go on..... This country sucks!! The only thing I can say the UK is good for is a Curry!! (I think I feel better now)
