So rumour doing the rounds

According to rumour mill, while digging out for the underground parking etc. an underground stream was found this has put the development on hold while the engineers decide what to do next.

IMO You'd need to be checking that they aren't dumping body parts or some other nefarious shennanigans, did you check in the bag?

When contacting the ES did you say he was drunk or just there was a guy unconcious in the middle of the road, IMO you would probably get a better ES response if the intonation was that he'd been in an RTA and left on the road as an untrained person you would be quite within your rights to have gone ...

Were you just sitting there in the car, with park anywhere lights on? If so then that would probably explain people likely thinking you were picking up Mr.Lady from a session at the bookies. If you've broken down, it's always best IMO to lift the bonnet and stare blankly at the engine, you get more ...
