In W Sussex apparently.:-) Around Horsham where I live, the majority of deristricted roads are fairly smooth and free of surface irregularities. It's on the minor and side roads in villages etc where the lack of maintenance is most obvious.
In my own village for several weeks there were some quite deep potholes in the access road to the library car park. Other local roads also have problems with minor potholes, and bumpy repairs. They do jar my car if I hit them, but as I know where most of them are, most times I can avoid them.
Maybe if I lived in London I would have the same prefence as yourself, re suspensions and ride comfort.:-) Mike..
