Hooray, hooray - It's on it's way!!!
Yep...there I was sitting quietly, minding my own business when I heard the dulcet tones of a pneumatic drill. It sounded quite close and I tried to hope that it was in fact doing some work om 'my' 'thud machine' (aka the manhole cover out back). A quick dash (well maybe not too quick), grab the camera and a couple of shots later there was the PROOF that they're finally doing the work....
Let's see. The first request was made way back on the 3rd October 2005 - and today is 15th February 2007!!! So despite the ongoing 'run ins' with our local copper (Mr. Christmas) and the recent 'discussion' with Mr. Mayor - they - my local council - have finally decided that perhaps I am entitled to a good night's sleep! Well I'll second that. I'll even drink a toast to the council - I'll just not bother to invite any of them to the party - so there!

Yeah, Finally but what the heck is he doing? The fix should not include tearing up the street! They just need a rubber gasket like thing to go between the lid and the other metal part. Whatever he's doing is overkill!

yay! they're finally fixin it! Took them long enough... but I suppose it is Italy, so its just about a reasonable ammount of time for them! I hope they do it right, and not only half way!
Yes I am indeed the proverbial 'pig in clover' (?). I got a great night's sleep last night.
And Jeff you're quite right- The rubber gasket was the solution I suggested from the start, but it seems that because the cover had dropped below the road surface level, the only solution worth taking was to lift and reset it..... So that's what he's doing....
