A grandad has taken a unique approach to protest against the poor state of his local roads by listing a 'pothole' on eBay. <\/p>\n

Paul Webb didn't receive any bids but claims that at one point, 500 people were 'watching'. Despite this, he's relieved it didn't sell as the listing was a joke and he was only selling a picture of a pothole. The 71-year-old business owner and disabled blue badge holder is calling for his county council to take action over the bad roads. <\/p>\n

He said: "I have my own business and I'm used to thinking outside the box. My wife says no one understands my sense of humour. I was trying to think of new ideas, and it just came into my head – I will sell a pothole on eBay."<\/p>\n

Paul admits the listing was a bit childish but insists the issue is important for Devon locals, especially those like him who are disabled. <\/p>\n

He added: "Everybody is suffering. I lost two tyres to potholes on my Range Rover – imagine what it's like for people with normal cars. Nobody seems to give a toss." <\/p>\n

Paul was surprised after posting the listing – which was actually for a picture of a pothole.<\/p>\n
