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.” ‘

You can’t  have a speed of -80mph, it would be a velocity of -80mph

That is a ‘special one’.

That is a ‘special one’. Literally no mention of bad driving or the driver in the whole article.. I think it’s been written so we can all feel sorry for the occupants, one of which needed rescuing, but the other climbed out himself..  Those poor young males, they had no chance against the might of those big wide lanes curb and railings.. it must have been because the hotel had no hi-viz on.. or maybe a cyclist pushed them down there.
