Some of us may have noticed that on the corner of Clyde and Sussex, where the old Bennett's Butchery and later Pool Room once stood there has been some recent repairs to the street corner walls of the building. Maybe you aren't aware of what happened so in the spirit of yet again informing you of some of the shit we hear about we will tell you what we believe happened. The diagram may help. It is our opinion that this was little more than an accident we are often warned about.
Microsleep - right front wheel contacts median barrier - drives car to the left narrowly missing the P.O and finally coming to rest in Barry’s place.
Because the driver had a bit of a panic attack they extricated the car from the building and attempted to escape into the dark of night. The car being rather damaged only managed to scrape and flubber a few hundred metres before finally expiring. The driver contacted the local constabulary and admitted liability only to find that he faced, so we are told, the additional charge of leaving the scene of a crime or something along those lines.
What we were told puts a bit of a funny twist to the story. The resident of the building, probably dreaming of beautiful flowers on the towns nature strips, was woken abruptly by very severe vibrations around his bed. Thinking it was maybe a call of nature he progressed to the toilet and saw to his before dawn needs. We believe he looked around in a sleepy haze and went back to bed. It was not until some time later that he was advised that a motor vehicle had entered his house without his prior knowledge or permission and that the breeze fluttering his sheets was not being caused by flatulent mice.
Our advice to avoid a repercussion it is wise is to avoid driving into gardens in the middle of the main street.
Note: By way of explanation for our Blog readers - and we wish not to offend - the resident of the house is a profoundly deaf person who is responsible for the care and maintenance of the median strip.
