Frank Spencer, the man in charge of the state of the roads across Somerset, says he's delighted to have been recognised in the King's Coronation Honours list.
His recent work in Cheapside, Langport [pictured] has already won him several trophies including the 'Oh look! The Potholes Are Back In Exactly The Same Place As They Were Last Year' award.
When asked the secret to his success Mr Spencer gave little away. Only saying that despite the human race putting a man on the moon, splitting the atom and being able to speak to someone on a mobile phone in the middle of the Amazon - that England should pride itself in the knowledge that it still can't fix a recurring pothole.
Langport Town Council says armbands are now available for anyone trying to get from Post Office Corner to Fosters News Agents without getting wet and showered in gravel.
Others named in the Coronation Honours List include David Warburton MP for unrepresenting the Somerton & Frome Constituency for the last 18 months, staff at the One Stop for not beating the crap out of the little shysters who go in there shoplifting and the man who despite seeing a large poster in the window saying 'please do not leave donations in doorway' left a bookcase, old hoover and two old duvets in the doorway of a Langport charity shop last week.
Marvellous, you couldn't write it! [although we try to!]
