That most roads abroad are in better condition than our pot-hole ridden Streets!?

I've recently been to Prague and Budapest where the main roads are silky smooth.

How come ours are awful?

I've recently been to Budapest and they still have entire buildings missing from the Second World War and subsequent Soviet occupation. This does lead to lots of yards. I like a good yard, particularly if it has a 15 year old executive saloon and an Alsatian pulling at a chain in it.

Go a few roads back from the main drag and you can forget entirely about our high streets having a shop or two empty, they have entire strips of disused shops. I'd take our infrastructure every day of the week. I did enjoy seeing the odd old Skoda and Lada on the street though. People were nice too.
That's true. Saw a couple of Trabbies too
