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.” ‘

Oh – I wasn’t complaining – merely suggesting that it’s done more than enough to deserve a leading role of its own – I make that seven of them just in the last week’s worth of comments here (albeit a couple of those have the twofer of also involving a building).

No, because there was no

No, because there was no driver. The car unaccountably…did the first thing, then it mysteriously…did the next thing and ended up in the hedge.  
And anyway, he doesn’t remember anything, must have blacked out, then come to briefly, blacked out again, and then eventually decided to walk home.
