Seems that only Cornwall and Devon have potholes. In Cornwall I understand they are called tin mines. Reply to this message | Report message

In some African countries people steal manhole covers for their own purposes. It's a hazard for drivers and their cars, and a worse hazard for pedestrians and their shins, knees, elbows etc. Reply to this message | Report message

There are more holes in Cornwall than there are in Blackburn Lancashire. Tin, Copper, Slate, Clay & Granite quarries, I even know of a phew silver mines and there is one where we lived in Warleggan. Another hole is Bodmin town centre - no wonder they built St Lawrences Hospital just down the road. www.whateversleft.co.uk/asylums/st-lawrences-asylum-bodmin Reply to this message | Report message

Good grief! - maybe a greater part of once-great Briton will indeed collapse into Hades underworld by the year 2300, due to the mines all over this Sceptred Isle, Fracking Lancashire will be the first to go down, I'll wager. Reply to this message | Report message

That was done with foreign assistance. The Norwich hole was a local effort - Ancient chalk workings. Reply to this message | Report message

Dont try that one, your ancient chalk workings were done by invaders. Reply to this message | Report message

Not that ancient, mostly medieval. Pre builders merchants all those fine flint buildings in Norwich made with lime mortar were achieved by digging a hole nearby and extracting the required materials . The holes were later often used for refuse and then forgotten. They often didn't worry too much when building in the 18th and 19th centuries and old roads and buildings are liable to suddenly subside. Reply to this message | Report message

My friend Laurie (the leather craftsman) had his own dis-used granite quarry ~ goo.gl/maps/KCii3 He got his water from there for nigh-on 30 years, no pump/filter or UV treatment, just a blue pipe and gravity. We often saw polywogs in the water when making tea. Reply to this message | Report message

Similarly, "polliwog" is from Middle English polwygle, made up of the same pol, "head" and wiglen, "to wiggle". Reply to this message | Report message

>>I thought you were vegetarian?<< Only in the last 6 months really, although we have toyed with it at various times over the years. Last night (we have Sunday dinner on a Saturday) we had baked potatoes & baked carrots with green beans, cauliflower, and greens. Normally we'd have chicken with that but I don't really miss it TBH, although I think er indoors does :) >>Very disappointing, I thought they were something exotic :)<< New word to me too, first time I've ever stumbled across it. Orf to do a vegetarian curry now, served on 'a bed' of brown basmati and served with a side salad. :} Reply to this message | Report message
