I wonder if the two ladies walking along Lyndhurst Way on Tuesday 2nd who saw the older gentleman tell me to "f*** off", get back in his car and drive away after reversing into my motorbike because he'd obviously pulled out too early from Lyndhurst Grove are reading this?


If so, could you give me your numbers please, as they both appear not to be recognised?

You said you were Bridget and Miranda?


Similarly would the friendly chap called "Martin" sitting on the wall just up Lyndhurst Way who saw the rude gentleman flee the scene without passing on his details please contact me? Your phone number also appears not to be listed.


To anyone else (and myself), here's the tip: Call any witness on their phone the moment they give it to you.

Sorry to hear about this.


Do you know it is actually quite difficult to be a witness. I once saw a van clatter into another parked van. I noted down the reg and company details of the van that had done the clattering and set about knocking on doors until I found the owner of the parked damaged van and then gave him my details and those of the fleeing van. Owner very grateful. Months later his insurance firm called me and asked me to re-confirm the reg of the van that had done the damage - I didn't have it as I had passed the piece of paper to the owner. As I couldn't separately verify the reg details, I was discounted as a witness.


I also had someone run into the back of my car when I was quite heavily pregnant. There were plenty of people stood around and as I stumbled out of my car in shock all came to see if I was ok but noone would give their details as a witness. Luckily the other driver apologised immediately and accepted full responsibility and all was ok.

The worst case of this I know of happened about 12 years ago when a young man was subjected to an unprovoked serious attack (broken hand, broken cheek bone and a tooth went through the cheek) outside the pub almost opposite the Mirash near Goose Green. A young man at the scene said he was a nurse and in all seriousness gave his details and the details of the perp to the police and they all proved to be false. These people are worse than low.

What had happened to the piece of paper? If it was still in existence, did the insurance company know that it was a record made by you immediately after seeing the incident?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
