Shitish - Something British that's been done better elsewhere (ie, manhole covers, train travel, football).
You can keep your Shitish deadhole covers. Soon though I will have a tarmac truck and will be coating all of the ones I meet with sticky icky and the people will love me and I will be made King of this island and the Brexit will be stopped and the legend of hippy will forever pass through the eons... revered fat idiot that he was.
In Oz the covers are concrete or if they're metal they have tar over them so 99% is covered and just the edges remain free from tar. Why this country can't do something similar to manhole covers is beyond me. But then the Brexit vote won so I shouldn't really be surprised.
