This accidental innuendo on Look North was peak Peter Levy – and that’s always a win
A combination of lack of money for councils and extremes of temperature have left a lot of roads looking like a crocheted blanket. Look North legend Peter Levy addressed the matter, and – not for the first time – realised the innuendo as he was speaking.
Watch what happened.

Sadly, we didn’t get to see weatherman Paul Hudson‘s reaction.
Our @peter_levy was given bit too much information there from @hudsonweather. pic.twitter.com/yGeoxMdcDb

There is, of course, a serious point.
This is all a bit 'Ooh Matron', but the danger from un-repaired potholes is very real to bikers, cyclists & pedestrians.
In the last 18m I've dealt with spinal fractures, skull fractures, numerous shoulder fractures and the loss of an eye because of potholes.It's no laugh then.
