Where to start? I reckon it would take a day for me to provide the details for the holes I encounter on the way into work ?(that's pothole, not assholes)

Was there any positive reaction to last year's event?

There was a lot of positive reaction to last years event which was the first and already the interest this year has quadrupled.

Colin Maloney who runs Street Repairs and organises national pot hle day is inundated with phone calls and support from MP's and major organisations including insurers, and just as importantly, he is a biker. It all came about because a friend of his was thrown from his bike because of a pot hole and lost his leg subsequently.

Local authoritoes are now quite worried about this apparenty. It is worth looking at the main website http://www.streetrepairs.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and have a look around

I am biased as I have got to know Colin over the past few months and I have nothing but admiration for the work he has done.
