[cardigan29]

Only joking, but someone has tried it seems:

I had a slight heart attack when I saw the thread title.

I wonder why the number plate has been obscured.

To protect the guilty?

 

[bunique]

I would guess so as not to compromise an active police investigation.

What a prize twat though!

You are being somewhat generous in your assessment of the 'driver'.

 

[cj1]

wonder if it was the driver's sat nav at fault

 

[The Hawk]

wonder if it was the driver's brain at fault

Sorted that for you.

Obviously, someone from Essex trying to get home.

I heard a report on BBC Stoke that the council will rebuild it to the original spec & will look to be reimbursed for the costs. Let's hope the twat, sorry, driver, is adequately insured.

Good to see no regional stereotyping going on here...

Classic!

Heaven forbid.

Driver wrongly thought that 'The only Way was Essex' (Boom Boom!)

It's only a winter's tale.

This is so sad, they usually have barriers up around the bridge, but I suppose with the work going on in Shugborough they were down. What an idiot! I hope they caught them.

 

[Trumpet]

Didn't look like they were going anywhere soon.

 

[Sir BoD]

I wonder how much it'll take to replace all that rock on?

 

[Dreamies]

apparently it was an old man who got lost?? dunno how true that is

So he will get off, won't have to pay for the repairs and it will be the council (i.e. Us, the ratepayers) who end up footing the bill for this idiot's stupidity.

 

[proactive]

Insurance will pay for it.
