If complaining about a pothole on your street falls on deaf eyes David Brown reports on several alternatives.

Frank Sereno from Waldo in Texas is fed up with the pothole outside his house so to highlight the problem he held a birthday party.

He said “I’m going to have a celebration for Pothole,” “I got some cake, lit a candle and had a little birthday party. He (the pothole) seemed thrilled with the idea.”

“I didn’t sing to him,” he noted. “It was too hot out.”

I think Frank is becoming a little too attached

At least this is more polite than a protester in Middlesborough in the UK who painted phallic symbols over local potholes so the council had to repair them, quickly, to cover the indecency.
