Talking about cobble stoned streets

There's miles of streets in Leicester that are tarmac straight on top of cobbled stones (setts). These move and that's the main reason that there are so many pot holes where the tarmac cracks up.
 
They lasted a hell of a lot longer than tarmacadam
During my first driving test I did the emergency stop manoeuvre on a wet cobbled St in Highfields......not terribly successfully...
The examiner was still shaking when he handed me my Failure paperwork.
I did mention that he picked the street, and I had no control over the weather. However, we both agreed I had little control over the car!!
