Large, deep water filled pothole on LH side or road, 18th February
Visiting friends a few hundred metres further up the road I dropped' into this deep water filled pothole. I was told it has been like that for some time and my friends were upset that they hadn't warned me. The rim and the trime was damaged and the the tryre lost pressure when I arrived at my friends house a few seconds later. The wheel was replaced with a spare and today my local garage straightened the rim - but there was a 'nick' in the tyre sidewall and this tyre needed to be replaced. With the tyre and trim this has cosy me £63.49 - - please advice how I recover these costs.

Pub "A" sign in road, 9th January
For some reason the "Tytherleigh Arms" has decided that it is allowed to place an "A" board sign ON the road at the junction with the main A358. This is both dangerous and selfish making an already narrow road even narrower!!
