Northampton's pretty bad.

It's funny cos there's a road just up from me that has been totally redone. it's like driving over silk. Then you get to the bit that hasn't been done and you're feeling the road through ya teeth again  :( Would love some real repairs to be done as opposed to the council's ''just fill it with gravel'' approach that equates to it needing to be done again in 2 months' time

Mrs TB was telling me about this. It seems they were covering Westbury (which is where she did that Irmscher Sportstar and tyre) and one of the older estates.

Westbury has been resurfaced, and the old estate isn't somewhere OOFers would be going, so shouldn't be a problem for us tomorrow :).  That said, the roads aren't brilliant around here, but currently better than a lot of places I drive to. Tunnies road, despite being cheaply patched up, still has a couple, so beware if going near his gaff.

Indeed, on the corner near the park (often cars park there) it's worth slowing right down, as the road dips slightly + load of pot holes.

Roads around Kingston are not too bad actually  :)

Yeah, that awful dip is still there, that makes your filling drop out. Some of the ones by the traffic calming have started to dig out again as well, but not too bad yet.

Kingston - last time I was there, I belted one that must have gone through to Australia on the road from Kingston towards the Palace. Boy, did I shout "Oh dear, thats not very good" ;D
