Step onto Fenchurch St at lunchtime & ankle sinks into significant pothole & twists appallingly. Agony all afternoon. And yes i am blaming winky for running us quite literally into the ground with nothing left in the kitty to repair the bloody roads.

The IFA i was on my way to suggested i should contact a No Win No Fee specialist, which lowered my opinion of him & reminded me of why we are going to the dogs.

I understand that i am opening myself up for scorn for watching the City's finest sashay down the street rather than checking for potholes every time i lower my feet but whilst hardly the worst problem we are facing in this country, it is one that infuriates me every time (i.e every 2 minutes) i am out on British roads.

Off to encase my ankle in Captain Birdseye....

"Dear Lord,

I know that I haven't talked to you that much lately, but this past year you have taken away my favourite actor - Patrick Swayze, my favourite actress - Farah Fawcett, and my favourite singer - Michael Jackson. I just wanted to let you know that my favourite prime minister is Gordon Brown. Amen."

Yes the nickname is one i've had for 20+ years & is very 'arch' as plenty of unfortunate/terrible things have happened to me. I should add i tend to live by the philosophy of caring very little about it all/not sweating the small stuff/shrugging which infuriates my wife but keeps my blood pressure low!

Well... if it's any comfort to you, 'our glorious leader' today, stepped into a pothole absolutely full of st and unlike yourself, I doubt he will recover.

You feel some pain, he feels much, much more pain, you feel like st, he's up to his neck in it.

I'm quite comforted by that thought, hope it cheers you up a little bit... all the best!
