    Which one of you angrier members was this?

    I was in the centre of Tunbridge Wells yesterday afternoon, and the driver of a silver mercedes felt he was unable to proceed, as the gap a small truck had left on the right, was only about 6" wider than his car. So he sat there, blasting his horn. Eventually he got so that he mounted the kerb to get past, then floored it. Unfortunately, the street curved around to the right, and he lost grip and did a beautiful drift into some large plant pots outside a pub.

    Warmed the cockles of my heart. (Good job the planters were there, otherwise someone could have been seriously hurt).
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      I didn't see his (or her) face. But I imagine it was something like this:

            Who do we know who likes crashing a Mercedes every now and then?
            His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

              The narrow road is basically the fault of the EU.

              STATE AID RULES
              ■ EU rules currently prevent some forms of support and
              investment by the UK Government in UK business.
              The UK would have more scope to provide direct
              support for UK infrastructure post-Brexit.

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    I'm just here trying to help your UK economy. I'm even rejecting offers for tax free shopping. (But that's mainly because I get so little back it's just not worth the effort).
