Yes, the term 'sinkhole' used in the headline suggests something that could swallow entire houses

Since it is London why is the door on the right side?  Shouldn't it be on the left side?

LOL. Dave, I saw the headline, then the pic, and I thought. Surely Dave will post. Thanks! You don't let me down ;D

That being said, I feel for the guy. I literally know his pain.

     I build a bridge for the village and do they call me John the bridgebuilder?  I put a new roof on the Sunday School building and do they call me John the roofer?  No, no, but one time they catch me getting a bus stuck ...

From the dispatcher: "Ok you are disabled. Sit tight until help arrives and I'll get a supervisor to you as soon as I can. You're the 4th one today."
