If you report them they have to come immediately if anyone had an accident you would sue the council because they knew. I reported one at the top of our lane, online, they ask for a photo and you pinpoint it on the map, I reported on a Sunday night and they were here first thing on the Monday.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I reported a collapsing manhole to our council and they 'fixed' it by covering it with tarmac to bring it back up to proper level. I assumed that was a very temporary solution, but 6 months on that tarmac has broken up and the manhole cover is lower than ever.
We had a big pothole outside the house(main road) and every lorry and large vehicle went clunk clunk every time they went over it. I reported it three times in three weeks. Every time, two days later they did a three minute patch job. The patch would last five days on average. The fourth time, I said I would keep reporting it until they did the job properly. They arrived, dug out the patch properly and spent 30 minutes doing a proper job. Three weeks and still holding. Fingers crossed.
Mums operation eye drops have worn off. This lunchtime she reports that colours are so much brighter, and she can read the paper without the magnifying glass. That was the goodish eye they fixed. Wait until the bad eye has been sorted.
I'm not sure if the second part should be on here or in the curmudgeon thread. I've put it here because it made me laugh (a) because people could think it and (b) because they were then stupid enough to put it in writing. I read an article about idiotic comments on Tripadvisor. One person complained that Snowdon was too steep and it was cloudy. Another complained that horrible things had happened at the Tower of London and they weren't warned before they went there.

My daughter stayed in the Amazon a couple of years ago and folk had complained about the lack of wifi.

I think most of those are intended ironically ... as commentary on the Snowflake tendency ... and of course the tabloid media has picked them up and treated them as ‘fact’ rather than using their common sense and treating them as ironic/tongue in cheek. 🙄
