Sun Newspaper

Post by grangers14 »

Do you read the Sun Newspaper?

I dont, but looked on line today because I was told it reported an accident just next to us.

"That hurts a Lot-us"
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/ne ... crash.html

It wasnt a report more about the type of car!

Poor Bin Men!
Poor person in a 4x4!

Poor me like a jibbering wreck because my youngest had just got to the road going to school I thought it may be her or her friends
Am such a worrier! :roll:


Dont think Id bother with the Newspaper! :lol:

I love the stupid comments in the paper. I am glad to see we are not the only country with clueless people who post comments pretenting to be smart and just show how stupid they are.

"A £30k car? It's a mark one Elise, which ended production in 2001, it's worth £10k max! and thats if it's a particularly good one!"

Try a 2009 Elise and easily worth, with extras, 30K.

"Not very robust those cars, are they?"

They are designed to fall apart and absorb the kinetic energy. Back in the "Old Days" the car might have some minor damage after such an accident but the driver and passenger were turned to jelly.

As someone who "helps" put them back together (the people not the cars) for a living I'm in total agreement Mark.

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
