Yes, It was Ifraz. He thought that it was a manhole cover that had flipped up. We went back the next day to take a photo, but couldn't find it.
Yep, I wrote a letter to the local Chelt & Gloucester council and they passed on the letter to someone else who then sent it to someone else, all saying that the road didn't fall in their area.
In the end it resulted in nothing.....
Good luck with chasing up the cost of your damages. You have an advantage of taking a photo of the pothole which should work in your favour.
If they're gonna be naughty about it then I'm just gonna go straight to the solictor bloke... He won't take any :tsktsk: off them cause he'll want his cut...
