Is that true? What happened in the end, then?


I passed by there around that time (on foot, luckily) and there was a queue of traffic right down the road with two cars head to head apparently unable to move.


I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often round here, it's like driving down a one-track country lane in many roads where cars are parked both sides and no room to pass something coming in the other direction.


Did somebody just refuse to reverse out of the way?

It is crazy around here...I have a small car and the only time I go down the back roads is at the last minute to get to my house because 4x4s and people carriers come down and NEVER give way even if they turn into a road and you are already there. There is no reason why they cannot wait at the end.

My daughter was in this situation and the wing mirrors of both cars were knocked- my daughter said let's forget it knock for knock but the other person said she was phoning the cops and after 10 minutes a belligerent big bloke turned up- so my daughter got in her car and cleared out....

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.

Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
