Car Drops Into Sinkhole On London Road

Owner Ghazi Hassan said "In life you have good days and bad days. This morning wasn't a good day....

Fortunately no one was in the car at the time, but his response made me smile so I thought I'd share. How lovely to be so calmly philosophical! :o)

True Naomi.

I fell in a hole as a kid, so embarrassing I wanted the ground to swallow me up :)

When Mrs B was little she lived in Kuwait, Dad was in the Oil Industry, she fell into the local well and had to be hauled out in the water bucket.

It's just another version of underground parking.

Bit scary though, one minute your driving along on an empty read and then the earth moves/sinks in front of you.

I fell into an occupied grave once, it had been covered by a concrete slab that broke, I went through the coffin lid. I did smell for a while lol.

Nice comment from Ghazi Hassan, could have been a lot worse - scary though.

That's what I'd call a pothole.
