Flip Flop takes out building in Storrington



Got to credit a local reporter for the pictures.

tis only a scratch

Looking at it on the map I think he’d missed his turning, but could get to it going up that road, but even turning right there looks a bit optimistic.

Yep I think describing it as Takes Out, is over exaggeration, bit like the papers who put killer Juggernaut underneath a picture of a 7.5tonner. :laughing:

Im guessing he might have been going to the mushroom farm at Thakeham. There are signs for lorries to use Water Lane but it is easy to miss if you’re unfamiliar.

Turning right there is ok if you’re patient. There is no island from the other approach so you can cut across the roundabout but you’d have to wait until any cars had cleared.

So come on Flip Flop ■■ what nationality is the driver and no not by the fact its a left ■■■■■■ or a reg that’s not British

I looked at it on google street view, its a painted roundabout and the right hand turn looks bread and butter stuff. So i can only assume he is going for a full 360 and again looking at street view its never happening in a million years.

I mean it looks like he was completing turning round in a circle so 360 degrees? Thats a full turn.

A half turn would be a 180 , like a person turning round or a car doing a u-turn

Just looked at it on street view myself and yes I agree looks like he was going to spin it round, and it isn’t top bad to to right, as long as you do it the way M1cks describes.

So Come on where is the DRIVER FROM ■■?the drivers nationality

I will let you know as soon as I get confirmation :slight_smile:
Arent you fixed yet? I would have a gap of about 4 hours to find out this sort of stuff if you were working. Now you’ve got your eye on here 24/7!

Isn’t that a bit pointless though, he’d still be going the same way :smiley:

A 720 degree turn would have been better. Doing that would’ve removed those pesky bits of building that were in his way for the first revolution thus making his second revolution flawless and very impressive to any spectators that didn’t see the first revolution.

…or he could’ve just carried straight on.

I think flip-flops might be allergic to mini roundabouts
