A bloke whos had his noodle done in by massive potholes in local roads has taken matters into his own hands.

Mark Morell has decided that when it comes to the council revenge is a dish best served hot and filled pesky asphalt craters in with Pot Noodles.

Also known as Mr Pothole, Mark has used the stunt as a potted protest to express his displeasure.

Mark is performing the defiant act in tandem with the famous instant noodle firm in a bid to get authorities to buck up their act and fill in the holes.

Mark said: Since nothing fills a hole like a Pot Noodle, who better to team up with to highlight the ridiculous state of the UKs roads?

This isnt his first trick though In the past, he has given potholes cake on their birthdays and even floated rubber duckies on them when theyve filled with water.

He was sick of his hometown Brackley getting blasted with the pesky pits and has been flying the flag to smooth roads ever since.
