I got an e-mail from a friend the other day to say that her brother had been driving someone home in the early hours of the morning and suddenly realised there was a car on its side in the road in front of him. He had to swerve to avoid it and then pulled over and stopped. He and his friend got out to see what had happened and when they went and looked in the car saw that the driver was still in the car and was very obviously dead. They called the various emergency services but, as expected, the man was declared dead at the scene. It seems that the driver struck a tree when he was driving and was killed. I can’t imagine how horrible it must have been to be the first person on the scene of a fatal car accident.
On a rather more humorous, but not entirely dissimilar note, I saw this recently and couldn’t help but laugh out loud at it. I should, of course, be defending women drivers but there are times when there isn’t much you can say to redress the balance. Who would have thought that it could be so dangerous buying petrol? You’re warned not to smoke or to use your mobile phone but now they’ll have to put up signs to remind drivers to keep all four tyres on the ground.
We’re still in the process of trying to work out where to go for a work Christmas meal. We’ve now got two options, only yesterday we discovered the second option was closed by the council because it has such poor hygiene standards in the kitchen. However, it is about to reopen and so we are still considering going there, as it was the most popular option until we found out about the mouse infestation. I figure that probably the safest time to fly is after a plane crash because airlines would be much more vigilant, so surely the safest time to eat at a restaurant is when it has just been given permission to reopen because it must have been given a clean bill of health and be at its optimum cleanliness. Right??
