The graffiti has appeared on the A835 in Ullapool in Ross-shire, Scotland, at a pothole that has been in the road for at least the past week. The hole is about half a mile from a Highland Council yard.
The local authority said people should not be painting graffiti on roads and to report potholes via its website or calling its service centre. A spokesman for Highland Council said: "Community services will inspect roads in that locality and repair any potholes that present a hazard, ideally filling all if that can be afforded.
"The team in Ullapool will try to erase the graffiti. They are limited to non-destructive means unless there is a structural reason to patch a wider area as a repair. Any such graffiti therefore would increase the pressure on limited resources." Since making the statement, the graffiti has been painted over, but the pothole had not been filled in.

We have one near us that is even worse than that. Maybe I need to do the same thing to get it noticed. Although, I noticed that they haven't actually fixed it.
What gets me is that I pay the local council $2200 a year and get nothing for it.
I have to pay separate for my rubbish collection, nearly $3 a bag, i pay for all the water I use, I pay for the roads via my petrol, I pay at the library should I borrow a book. To get a consent to do work on MY HOUSE THAT I OWN I have to give them thousands, every bloody thing about them costs money. Yet they seem to do bugger all.
I reckon we should all rebel.
