Perhaps before the accident he and his mother were arguing and he wasn't concentrating on his driving as he should have been, regardless of the drinking (maybe they were arguing about that). It could be that he blamed his mother distracting him for the accident, so he was shouting at her.

I see the owners of the other car have talked to the newspapers. I wondered how long it would be before they plugged their restaurant

[ummmm]

Am I missing a link because the footage I've seen only lasts a few seconds.

goodgoalie - // Andy, it's not a still image, it's a short video; and that is what I based my earlier comment on. I stand by it. //

Fine, but since my response was to Kvaldir's post, you don;t need to defend your position to me.

[-Talbot-]

That will be it, bhg.


There's nothing more annoying than someone chewing your ear off when you are trying to drive hissed.

He was drunk whilst driving a car, suffering depression and or shock are, in my opinion, not mitigating factors.

Nor mine.

[ummmm]

No it's no excuse, ever. Cars are killing machines.

[goodgoalie]

No, Andy, your response was to my post: you quoted it at the beginning of your post, before saying the courts wouldn't decide on the basis of a photograph. My comment wasn't based - as you implied - on a photograph, it was based on the short video which you seem not to have watched before disagreeing with me. We'll soon see if/when he's charged...

[kvalidir]

Oh Andy changes his mind. AGAIN. Big surprise.

///No one is defending his right to drink drive///

Neither he nor anyone else has a right to Drink and Drive.

Wonder how long it will be before a certain Ms Moffatt will be 'comforting' him.

[anneasquith]

Ms. Moffat has absolutely nothing to do with the op. No need to involve anyone else, except those involved .

I suspect that it wasn't alcohol still in his system from the previous night, not at 4pm.

He has previously admitted to problems with alcohol.

I suspect he is one of those alcoholics who top themselves up regularly

Dec would be wise to start looking for solo work, or a new comedy partner.

For I'm a Celebrity, I propose Mel and Sue take over.

[Gherkins]

"Mel and Sue"

They can stay away.

If you want to get a few quid compensation from a millionaire it's always best to make a big drama out of it.

Noel and Sandi are much more suited to the Great British Bake Off. Sue Perkins use to make me feel uncomfortable sometimes. I can't imagine how they would ruin I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
