Beware there's been a spate of manhole nicking over the last couple of years as the price of iron and steel increases but it has got to epidemic and dangerous proportions here in the Midlands. Just over the border in Warickshire the road planners had the idea to use narrow manholes on the Fosse road. I can't think I've seen them elsewhere - I cannot think why not!
Their plan has spectacularly misfired as (unlike the usual square ones which are hinged and hard to nick) these just lift out and Hey Presto! an instant bike (death) trap. Currently there are about thirty missing in a five mile section and with the winds of late best to make a wide berth
