    Running this one up the flagpole to see who salutes… 

    I just don’t remember this being a thing until recently, now it seems a daily occurrence.
    Could it be that there are drivers not up to the job, too many cars; should houses be made to ride in single file, shops put on high viz, why are we putting newer buildings in danger like this, it’s irresponsible.

    ‘A Dorset Police spokesperson said: “Dorset Police was called at 12.48pm on Thursday, August 13, to a report of a collision involving a car and a wall outside Iceland on Poole Road in Bournemouth.

    “It is reported that the vehicle was also in collision with a pedestrian, but they did not require medical treatment.” ‘

    Sorry, no photo or link but the Manchester Evening News reported a head on collision between 2 Bee network double decker busses.

    The vehicles have bright yellow livery, so comments about hi viz are superfluous.

    Held on $100 000 bond!!! Here they would have said: “Don’t do it again” and let him out as soon as he was “sober” to drink drive yet again.

    Hope all the animals were okay!

    If you check back, that house is blurred in pictures as far back as Google Maps go… frankly, I blame the house: how could the driver see the house if itwas not in sharp focus?

    On the way out for the evening yesterday, we travelled along the A518 from Weston to Uttoxeter in Staffordshire pass the site of this accident back in Aug 2023….

    Guess what…. the house still has a massive hole in the side and temporary traffic lights outside. Two years and no repairs. Blimey, someone is dragging their feet!

    That’s awful, I ride through there most days in term time accompanying Mrs H to/from work. It’s two pretty narrow lanes – barely big enough for a wankpanzer – and divided in the middle, absolutely no room for a truck to get through. I see from the pictures it’s an event vehicle; they have a lot of filming and corporate stuff in the park, most likely the dozy bugger mistook the entrance for the northeast one which is two lanes without a divider…how you manage to drive at this in a big truck without thinking hang on, maybe I should brake though…
