Mea Culpa.

[sapelesam]

So nice in this day and age for a person to admit to their mistake.

Think we need a new thread on bin wagons, and maybe people who's time is more valuable than yours.

I do homecare, so there is always a chance I will get there to find someone on the floor with a broken hip/arm etc. It happens... and they are being delayed because a lorry driver doesn't want to walk 10 yards... and that was really all it was.

I turned into my road once to encounter an ambulance stopped blocking the road .
The paramedics were just exiting the vehicle .
I requested if they could just move the vehicle into the parking space literally a few feet down from where they stopped . ( i couldn't understand why they did not stop in the parking space in the first instance ).

Anyway the chappie said to hold on a bit and he will move it after they had access the situation inside the house

[sapelesam]

I was refering to drivers who mount the pavement, just look on youtube, the number of close shaves is frightening. Emptying bins shouldn't be that dangerous.

[pixie374]

I agree, Sam... I wasn't condoning that.

[albaqwerty]

Baz, maybe that extra few feet might have meant the difference between life or death.
Not having a pop at you, but couldn't you have parked in a bay and then walked home?
(although I have no idea what your circumstances are for mobility, so I apologise for that)

[hereIam]

Glad he apologised.

[jlcm]

only because the press were about to name him

[Mamyalynne]

As long as his apology is sincere, it makes no never mind.

It will serve well for the future.

[Bazile]

alba - i don't see how - given that the space was literally in front of the next adjoining house .
In any event , it was no problem really

[albaqwerty]

Baz, you didn't come across as angry just more 'why didn't they...?'
(sorry if I offended, it wasn't meant to offend)

I wouldn't like their job, or any emergency service job really.

[Bazile]

Yes i am deeply offended .
I'll send a representative from the Borg collective , round to your
place , to have a quiet word :-)

[albaqwerty]

7 of 9 would cheer Mr Alba up lol

[Bazile]

:-)

[jno]

alba, yes, that's how I read it: he was blocked in. And I don't know how he could have asked them to move if they'd all gone to the emergency and he didn't know where. So I have some sympathy for him.

[douglas9401]

Judge not nor cast the first stone.

[jno]

I forgive you, Clarion! Whatever it was.
