Betting Shop Sign Kills Pedestrian

[joggerjayne]

Apparently someone has been killed when a Betting Shop sign fell on them.

What were the odds of that happening?

Why tasteless? Has someone been knocked out by William Hill?

[Psybbo]

Yes, a man was killed by a betting shop sign falling on him, but I didn't think it was tasteless, just a bit of irony

Note to self....keep up with current affairs....

It made me laugh, but there again I like gallows humour.

Not funny at all, imo.

Have to agree a young life cut short is not ideal joke material.

Oh dear, Jayne...think you might've dropped a clanger here lass.

This is a terrible tragedy and certainly NOT a subject for silly jokes. How much dumber is Britain going to get ?
