Leakeyvale Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 and with no lights on on the streets at night....wonder why they get hit! > No lights and dark clothes too I bet. Same goes for pedestrians in our village - dark clothes and no torch (or a super-super flashlight that blinds drivers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 add to that the ones you use path and try and run you down then make out your in the wrong for walking on the path Never mind the cyclists - motorists , where the is no path, who think theat pedestrians should get off the road and not make them deviate by even 6 inches! I have been hit by wing mirrors on many an occasion, while wearing a fluorescent jacket and standing as close to the hedge as I can get.

NCC Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 A long story, but my mate took out one side of a bus, windows everything, with his Quicke loader at dusk last night \ \ \ He was stationary just about to pull out of his drive with lights and everything, loader up in the air with the squeeze pointing down i think. Bus driver must of focused on the tractor and not on the squeeze and POW. Luckily no one was hurt, only 1 person on the bus. It'll need about 7 new windows and a few good rips in the tin work sorting. All we need is a new Kverneland tine for the squeeze :o Good old Mchale engineering!! He didn't finish wrapping for me till about 2am this morning :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one ever stopped and apologised and that was because there were several witnesses including a lady who made quite a thing about turning her steering wheel hard to give me a wide berth while stationery. She had been behind the other car and was waiting to turn into the school car park. Yes both were mothers taking the little darlings to school.

britainswomble Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Sorry to hear about your sad Losses Simon and Mandy. Unfortunately, that is the downside of pets. They have such short little lives and bring us so much pleasure, be they small or large. There's never a good time for anything to die, but at least you've both given them a life of love and companionship, which is more than can be said for a lot of unfortunate animals and pets. We've lost too many cats this year, one died after getting attacked by another cat after an operation, he was only just a year old. We lost a five day old kitten and recently three seven week old kittens that died of what we think was pneumonia, although the vet said there wasn't a lot wrong with them. We also lost our lovely cat known a Row Row (Her greeting), who was run over by someone who wasn't looking where she was going. She was a very special cat, and I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when I had to bury her. All we have of her are photo's and lots of happy memories. She had a very special relationship with us as she didn't get on at all with other cats. :'( Don't ever feel guilty about getting a "Replacement" for your pets; as you will give another beautiful animal the love, companionship and affection it deserves, making its few years with us as enjoyable as it ever could be. Happy memories and photos will always be with you. Sadly nothing lives for ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
