    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.

    I doubt that’ll be enough to stop someone driving a car through it, though.

    That particular stable door

    That particular stable door has been thoroughly nailed shut. They’re going to be really outraged when someone waiting to go into the carpark accidentally puts it in reverse though. Actually – looking at the boards in the picture it looks like that was what happened the final time…

    Excellent placement of the bollards to protect the valuable building in the place it got hit last time, but not the rest of it, and let’s not worry about anyone using the pavement.

    They were late returning a book but it was shut, so they had to improvise.
