You should have a few T Shirts made! .. Sheringham did and I bought one, all the larger sizes sold out so I had to buy a slightly too small one .. you could even nick this design .. I reckon you'd sell quite a few, Sheringham sold out and had to make a second batch .. here's the kid's size for £6.50Couple of weeks ago. The road is still closed off to vehicles but cyclists and pedestrians are free to browse.
There will be more, with the general increase in rainfall year on year.Gravity isn't suction. I hate this headline.
Considering the rotten state of our infrastructure and ignorance of these things, I'm shocked there isn't more of this.

A sinkhole that opened suddenly on a Los Angeles street swallowed the front half of a family's parked van.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said the vehicle was unoccupied Tuesday morning when the sinkhole opened underneath it on a street in the city's Crenshaw District. ...
The fire department said the sinkhole had been caused by a broken water main that caused flooding on South Buckingham Road. Firefighters arriving to deal with the flooding just after 5 a.m. found the van with its front half sunken into the road. ...
This is uranine (fluorescein) dye - a common thing for anyone who knows anything about groundwater tracing. What the hell kind of media do we have when "reporters" and "journalists" quote f***ing Twitter for their "facts".Ninja Turtle-esque green slime sinkhole turns heads in Toronto
Posting a pic of the creepy green goo on it’s page, @BlogTo, which is described as “Toronto’s source for local news and culture, restaurant reviews, event listings and the best of the city”, noted: “Nothing to see here – just a sinkhole on Hastings Ave. in Leslieville #Toronto“.
Commenter @ShawnFromToronto quipped: “Anyone who wants to be a Ninja Turtle now is your time,” @PalDEvans suggested “Quick, somebody toss four baby turtles in there!” and @WassermanReview asked: “Heroes in a half shell anyone?”
But while the ooze looked radioactively alarming, it turns out it's a trading tactic as @Rich705 noted: “The coloured dye used is to see if the sink hole connects with any sewars (sic) nearby.”

I've seen Ghostbusters 2 .. that's ectoplasm.Ninja Turtle-esque green slime sinkhole turns heads in Toronto
Toronto citizens were taken aback this week when a photo of a sinkhole full of glowing green slime made the rounds on Twitter — reminding people of the radioactive sludge that turned normal turtles into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

A tracing dye is the first thing I thought of when seeing the piccie. Are they a bit naïve in Toronto?This is uranine (fluorescein) dye - a common thing for anyone who knows anything about groundwater tracing.

No. According to my friend in Toronto, they were not even "taken aback". This is the New York Post which is a tabloid that has nothing to do with Toronto. They deal in click bait.A tracing dye is the first thing I thought of when seeing the piccie. Are they a bit naïve in Toronto?
A giant sinkhole opened in the car park of a hospital in Naples, Italy, forcing the temporary closure of a nearby residence for recovering Covid-19 patients because the electricity was cut. ...
Two houses have partially collapsed after a sinkhole measuring 10ft (3m) opened up on a Manchester street.
Four homes were evacuated on Wednesday evening after the hole appeared on Walmer Street in Abbey Hey, Gorton.
Fire crews returned hours later after the front of two of the empty properties crashed to the ground.
United Utilities said it was dealing with a collapsed sewer but was investigating all possible causes including the recent heavy rain.

Ian Westall of Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service said: "The ground just fell away with the weight of the bike on that particular spot and he was swallowed up into the sinkhole."
The farmer was flown to hospital and is being treated for chest injuries.
The opening was about 8ft (2m) wide at the top but widened below "like a wine carafe", which posed additional risk to rescuers, Mr Westall said.
"You've got a lip at the top which went down into a narrow throat, and then there was a large bulbous bottom which opened up 10m (33ft) in one direction and 4m (13ft) in the other.
"Obviously, with unstable ground and people on the surface unsighted, there was an inherent risk.
"We had to make sure the rescuers weren't going to be involved in any further movement or collapse of the ground, so we widened the cordon area and had only those directly involved in the rescue at the scene."
Sinkholes have been appearing in the village of Mecencani, a village 40km away from Croatia's capital.
Their appearance isn't unusual, given that the region was hit by a 6.4 magnitude earthquake in December.
However, residents and geologists have noted the frequency of the sinkholes, stirring up significant concern in an area still rebuilding after the quake.
