Supermarket Slip

Car Park Escape

Miss O had a lucky escape when visiting her local supermarket. As she was walking through the car park another customer lost control of their car and ended up driving at speed towards Miss O, who had to jump out of the way. Luckily she avoided being hit – unlike a number of nearby cars! […]

Roll Over And Over

It turned out that Mr B’s luck wasn’t in after all when a friend offered him a lift home, saving him the walk. Unfortunately for Mr B it turned out that his friend liked to drive rather too fast, and even more unfortunately without the skill to do so. Things came to a head when […]

Cobbled Together

It’s A Cliché For A Reason

As every fan of slap stick comedy and cartoons will tell you banana skins are slippery. Step on one and…oops, up in the air and down you go. Mrs S found out on a recent visit to her local supermarket that it is very true in real as well. As she was walking along an aisle […]

Safe To Walk

Miss S thought it would be safe to walk when she went to cross the road at a pedestrian crossing, it should have been. Unfortunately the driver approaching the crossing was not paying proper attention. In fact no attention at all, because he failed to stop and drove straight into Miss S. She was knocked […]
