Meanwhile in the village of Dobcross

11.30 this morning in the village of Dobcross near Oldham.
One of Moores Refrigeration Controlled Transport (MRCT) takes out the memorial in the village square…

would by any chance the front plate read bogdan or bartec?? or is the driver really just impersonating a taliban with the shorts and jesus sandals.
luckily he was wearing his hi viz otherwise it could have been carnage.
quite a dynamic pose from the 2 old coffin cheaters in the 1st pic though? . :slight_smile:

All happening in that neck of the woods what with the premature machinery delivery in Saddleworth !

Yes happened around the same time just down the road in Lees…

The other driver usually gets it in no bother…

Look on the bright sight the pub and the village seat have survived so could have been worse if he’d tried to turn it around.Don’t say he’d actually tried to turn left into that road. :open_mouth: When straight on back onto the A670 was the only option from that point.

What a ■■■■■■ idiot! Take his ■■■■■■ licence from him before he kills somebody [emoji35]
We’ve all ended up somewhere we probably shouldn’t be, well, those of us that don’t plod round rdc’s anyway but we don’t destroy everything in sight trying to rectify the error.
This idiot is clearly one of those ‘must follow sat nav’ monkeys because he is an rdc plodder at an educated guess.
Don’t these stupid autos have a reverse gear anymore? Or was he just too useless to use it?

And breath…rant over

I’m sure he has a reverse, but if that’s the damage he caused going forward then imagine the carnage he’d have caused going backwards

You ever tried to reverse a new actros after jumping out of a scania atleast? It’s jerking all over the place. He probably thought nah I’m not even trying :grimacing:

Pretty sure that mike sweeney the resident dj who has a morning chat show on greater Manchester radio will have sommat to say on his show tomorrow as he lives in Delph dobcross incidently anyone around manchester in a morning check out his show great listening 95.1 fm

The war memorial in better days.

The driver only had to follow the road to the right of the picture and they would of been home free.

Even if he was determined he was going to take the street he tried (but failed) to get up there’s so much space for him to take the street before then reverse round on his good side then go straight at it.
Given the level of stupidity I’m assuming he’s never seen the inside of a dcpc classroom. This invaluable certificate of professional competence [emoji23] would have prevented this, surely? Therefore, his employer is at fault for not checking his ‘qualifications’. [emoji57]

Suppose he’s ok if your into nostalgia 60s stuff.
Although prefer him.to that phill trow.
He does my head in. Yes he’s gay. But he doesn’t have to keep reminding us every 5 mins.
Always saying me and my partner Rob. And doing his cheesey Frankie Howard impressions.
Oooo misses etc
Just no need for it.

Agency. :stuck_out_tongue:

I know that pub well,many a good folk-night held there till ‘new-labour’ made these gatherings subject to licensing laws that made it unviable.Shocking photo tbh…Dobcross is a fabulous old village.Saddened.

I’m normally one of those ‘people make mistakes and we all have bad days sort of chap’ but in this instance - what the eff was he thinking! What a ■■■■■■■ moron!

I’m the same I always try and give people a chance before taking the ■■■■ etc but then there’s only so long you can use that for. A bit like pro drivers always trying to blame the car being in their blind spot rather than admitting they didn’t do enough mirror checks, the blind spot excuse is over used. In the same way you can over use the “yeah but everyone makes mistakes thing” and there’s got to be a line where you cross it and it goes beyond just making a mistake and becomes stupidity. This driver crossed that line.

Looking at the photos if you approached from the right instead of the way they did which turned a straight line approach into a tight left turn then they probably do.
