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.” ‘

No, sorry, we’ve raised the bar, no buildings harmed crashes only count now if it had shed its cargo and that has to be something we can do awful jokes about.  I dunno something random like fishing rods.

The owner of the lorry said, “I would like to thank Inspector Finch and his men for the supreme effort they made in dealing with the crash”

Inspector Finch added “and I would like to thank all the police staff involved in helping to locate the escaped birds for their professionalism – it’s a real feather in their cap”

(It would be beneath me to say that the lorry driver got a roasting.)

I initially thought the story and post was concocted as one massive feed-line. Thanks for posting it.

I went a wife or so ago. It was struggling and I doubt many would notice its passing. To be fair, no doubt our Spalding based friend can attest, the whole region is struggling. I last went pre-Brexit and the typical worker appeared to be an immigrant with an unhealthy enthusiasm for track suits and those awful glow in the dark nylon football shirts. I was initially confused with all the shops for household cleaning until Mrs S Mk1 set me straight. I’m guessing many had settled status so I’m not sure what the Brexit effect was.

I only went to visit decades back, all I remember is the Stump looked enticing but we weren’t allowed all the way up.  So maybe it’s like:

Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn’t fit for humans now,
There isn’t grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!

I know that bend, just before the Goat pub in Maerdy. It’s pretty innocuous.

Beeston homeowner heard a

Beeston homeowner heard a ‘great big bang’ as car crashes into his fence

He said: “I’m used to it now – not a lot of emotion at all, we’ve had it happen so many times and over the years you come accustomed to it, you become immune to it and just hope nobody Is injured.

“They’ve been in the wall opposite, the house opposite, the flats – all four corners. It’s careless driving and not knowing the junction properly. There’s been three this month, two finished in the middle of the road, just minor bumps.
