brits can't do roads

The council redid a 0.5 mile stretch of road further north last year. This stretch was actually better than the stretch more south. It was probably a case of using some leftover budget in March/April.

In true british fashion, a first surface was laid, all road markings were painted the next day, then the topping was put in place *right over the painted lines the day after*. It then took another week before the road marks were painted. Again.

This new stretch is very uneven (undulates) and eroding already.

Most, if not all of Europe manages to put a good quality, flat stretch of road down. Here in britain, road quality resembles that of a third-world country.
