Unfortunately my car was hit this evening as I was driving along Crystal Palace Road, by a car that drove through the junction of North Cross Road. It was right outside the pub on that corner at about 5.30pm. None of the guys sat outside the pub at the time would act as a witness (even though they watched it happen). If by any remote chance anyone else saw the Mondeo hit my white Fiat 500 (me female, two small kids in the back), and would kindly act as a witness to support the insurance claim, then please do PM me. Would be most grateful!

Because most attendees drive to the forum drinks and are particularly worried about their automobiles getting mash-up?


amirite?


E2A: I thought it had been suggested as a possible venue but the suggestion had been overruled?

On the subject of car insurance, it doesn't matter if you have witnesses or not. You'll make a claim, your no claims bonus will be affected, the insurance companies will work out the claim between themselves.


I think the helpful rhyming couplet of choice is, "it's a no claim bonus, not a no blame bonus."


The need for witnesses would apply if you were taking legal action against the other driver.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
