Not wanting to tar all wagon drivers with the same brush (because they do a good job, we'd be pretty screwed without them) but last month just at my road end a wagon driver had a sneezing fit whilst behind the wheel and ended up leaving the main road, going through a hedge, into a field and right through a churchyard taking a full row of headstones with him before coming out the other side.


....If no-one was hurt that's very funny! Oooops!! :laugh:

No one was hurt so in a way I suppose it is quite funny in a way, especially with it being a sneezing fit that caused it :laugh:

Imagine if one of your family that was buried there though, not very nice :scared:

....True, but in most comedy situations someone 'suffers'. It's just that I can see the funny side. There were a couple of hysterically funny moments at my 4yo son's burial.. It's very important to be able to still appreciate and enjoy comedy in all situations.

This, of course, is different to Steve's family close call.. I haven't seen any comedy elements in that.

....My understanding is that they got out before the truck piled in and did the damage.

TBH it doesn't matter whether the car is French or not.  Hardly any hatchback/family car is going to come out well if a lorry goes into the back of it.
