When:
Short story:
A news item in UK newspaper Daily Mail reports that, "There are 4000 holes in the road in Blackburn Lancashire, one twenty-sixth of a hole per person, according to a council survey. If Blackburn is typical then there are over two million holes in Britain's roads and 300,000 in London." The feature inspires the line about "4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire" in The Beatles song, A Day In the Life.
