A new catch-all Tea Shop thread for those miscellaneous new stories that don’t quite fit with parking, crashing into buildings or trapped/prisoners in their homes.

Classic, but look again – you

Classic, but look again – you’re not done with it quite yet. 

Gosh, I love a good Poor and Terrible Tripadvisor review.

If only there was some other

If only there was some other scenic way in and out while the main road is closed.  Also, Secuna way has a cyclepath down the western side.

The location is indeed hemmed-in by the river on one side and the canal on the other. At the roadworks’ northern end, leading towards town, there is still a lot of building work ongoing – it might be nice if you were able leave the towpath once clear of the roadworks.

Lack of responsibility for their own safety and even worse – their kids.

The only fault on the car’s

The only fault on the car’s part is that it is capable of being driven at way over the speed limit. 

Thanks for the Streetview image – like the video, it doesn’t convey this though, the reason why he swerves into the side like that.

It’s that pesky Kentish cross

It’s that pesky Kentish cross-wind again, isn’t it, every August it’s the same.

He’s quite the down-player, this Mr Harris, the boy dun good.

Accelerating hard through

Accelerating hard through effective chicane (in convoy with other team members), hits a wet shaded patch? https://goo.gl/maps/ybHPYjSFkuiKe5zB6

I wonder if the witnesses they spoke to included the pedestrian who appears to stop sharply as the car approaches from under the rail bridge

Perhaps we should club together to buy these hostages some draughts or dominoes to pass the time?

Or a bed.

“I have seen the video clip, where it doesn’t look great, that he’s lost control, but having spoke to eye witnesses myself and police and all the players involved, the problem was the car, not the driver, which is pleasing for me to be able to say.

“However, it is just a reminder to all of us that we have to be careful and make sure we look after our community as well. I reminded the players of that but everyone is safe and it was just a pure accident.

Erm – that’s a pretty spectacular loss of control…

The manger of course will have sent all similar cars in the fleet back and demanded cars fit for purpose. Surprised there hasn’t been a recall of that model worldwide.
