Modern cars and clueless drivers in snow. Recipe for disaster. At least you gained a nice old concrete lamp post.

Nah I was stood outside laughing, especially when one of them told me he was only doing 10mph. I know exactly how he always drives around here, with his chav mapped thing backfiring everywhere. His barely legal front tyres won't have helped either.

It's not that nice, it's got an LED thing on the top.

Little house on the first 90° bend into town here had big wooden poles buried in the ground, those kept getting smashed.
So they upgraded to metal bollards.
Two got uprooted.

Before they could fix them another truck went through the gap and demolished half the house.

Every single time has been truck drivers half asleep.

If anyone is bored enough to want to know were it is, they need to get out more.

Are you sure that they weren't deliberate crashes?
I know that a meek and mild guy like you could never offend anybody but if you hear a loud ticking noise I suggest that you leg it out of the back asap. They missed you with the lamppost but there's bound to be a backup plan.

Well I have just had a powercut...

They say it's to make the lamp post safe but can I trust them?
