# Pothole, 42 Sails St, Canterbury, Christchurch 8053, New Zealand

> A mighty pothole has opened up on Sails Street after the recent rain directly behind the last one that was filled. It’s as if the old pothole laid an egg. Each unsuspecting driver that hits it donates a little more of their suspension to the cause. It’s growing rapidly and may soon be large enough to register as a minor sinkhole or swallow a small car whole. Would appreciate a patch-up before it becomes a drive-through to the Earth’s core.
