A fucking disgrace.
Me and the missus have just been for a run, well I say that but we actually only managed 500 yards.
Got halfway down Redcliffe Street and the missus goes sprawling accross the pavement, her leg had fallen down an open manhole cover.
Her leg's all bruised, she's cut her other leg and has badly grazed her hand. But what pisses me off the most is SBC must have known about it because someone put a solitary orange warning cone, INSIDE the manhole. What the fuck??? No barriers or boards over the whole, just a cone chucked in it.
Luckily it's just a few bruises which'll heal, but she could have broken her leg or worse.
I'm so fucking mad!!!!!
Rant over.

I've now got a vision of Yeovil going down there and breaking his leg.
Then suing the council........

Where there's blame, there's a claim!

on a more serious note, firstly i hope she's ok, secondly everyone is saying sue, you may (or may not) think people are saying this just in jest, but seriuosly, sue. Its a death trap, if that had been a small child, they would have fallen straigh down it, (not saying your missus is fat ) it shuold have been covered up, no question about it. |

how is the Council's fault your other half can't see a gaping whole  on a serious note, would this be a council thing or more likely another company who are responsible for man holes? (why am I having really odd thoughts?) |

Well they have a 'Report a manhole' problem thingy on their website, so I'm blaming SBC.

Suing them is the pussies way out. Personal revenge is the way forward, find out who's responsible and give their shins a proper bruising. Man to man Karma stylee!
