Crazy or fun???

BBC News - Pothole gardener's Christmas display

That's really nice. I hope they don't get vandalised.....I'd love to stumble on one of those.

They wouldn't last 2 minutes up 'ere.......so in a word, crazy.

Crazy and fun - although I think the doll's house furniture is a bit OTT
Last year someone put a decorated Xmas tree on the beach, above the tide line and passers by would write messages in the sand around it. I like "crazy and fun"

[Aberdeenplotter]

daft as a brush.

[Samurailord]

A bit of both - as long as the pot hole isn't in the way of traffic what harm does it do?

If it makes someone smile when they come across it then I say 'Go for it!'

It'll be fine until folks start to sue him for tripping over them.

I'm with Bren on this one, I used to do a lot of running and during the winter months this was generally in the dark. I wore a bib vest so others could see me, but I did once go flying after tripping over an unlit work sign on the path, I saw it so late it was impossible to huddle it.

As councils these days have a habit of switching alternate streetlights off, this could become a serious health hazard. If someone out running was to step on that chair for example you could be looking at broken bones, all sorts.

Not wishing to put a dampener on his actions, but personally I think he's opening himself up for serious claims against him. I would rather see sand art filling in the hole, something like this.

I have a funny feeling he sets it up, takes the photos and then dismantles it all. Otherwise it'd be very expensive....doll's house stuff can be dear.

yups a twin wheeled transit wouldm't leave much would it

as long as the pot hole isn't in the way of traffic

The pot hole damages your vehicle (and your body too, if you're on a bike). I'd like to see them filled in with plants, at least then I'd see them before I hit 'em

Brilliant, that man wakens my dormant guerrilla gardening instinct, gives me an idea...we have potholes so big in the village you could have a full size garden in 'em !
