So I was stuck in traffic and missed my dinner yesterday....
Discussion
I know traffic queues are an occupational hazard of using roads, and I should have allowed more time, etc etc, but I was held up for about just over half an hour yesterday, and when I got to the restauarant, they had cancelled my reservation and given it to someone else, with no tables due for another hour at least.
Just one of those things I thought.
Until today.
The reason the road was closed was because some local 19-year-old-loveable-rogue-chav-rat-soldier-boy had killed himself and seriously injured his passenger by driving like a cocktard at 3am earlier in the day. The road wasn't still closed from that clean up, no. It had been closed, twice, by the police so the relatives could lay b
din' flowers in the middle of the road!!
FFS.
As expected, the Facebook tribute page is already up, with the usual indecipherable text speak and cliches.

A simple search of this young lads name within the sentinel website reveals that perhaps he was a little more than a 'loveable rogue'. It seems that he was perhaps something of a regular with the local Magistrates and Crown courts.
That said, it is recognised that he has left behind friends and family that will mourn their loss.

Completely stupid situation, and caused huge disruption to a great many people - and that doesnt include his family shutting down the road again...
Sorry, heartless maybe - sensible letting a family lay flowers in the middle of a busy commuter road fg bonkers.
Now lets hear the usual outrage from these people about the cloud of pollution caused by this pointless carry on
How in gods name do these people get permission to do this sort of thing? And, whats wrong with laying the flowers at his grave?

Unbelivable, but sadly sums up the state of our nation.
Next to nobody turns out for Rememberance day, or to welcome troops home, but the police will close a major road twice 'cause some low life kills himself, probably through excess speed, drink or drugs.
Makes you proud to be british!!!

I think I feel more satisfaction at being a "self-important prick", than being a career criminal who kills himself, and very nearly his best mate by driving like a twunt!!Sorry you missed your dinner reservation...glad you feel that you are so important.

Makes sense to me. But then I am probably stupid and hey, I made my dinner reservation last night so probably also do not understand the pain and suffering that may cause to the OP.
Awww you missed your dinner, hold on let me dust of my violin...
Yes the guy was probably a dick, yes it wasn't a greet decision
You lost your dinner they lost a family member or friend, whos never coming home.
How do you know he was driving like a cocktard? Lets hope your son/daughter/boyfriend doesn't die in a similar scenario and then every man and his dog jumps to conclusions because what they read on the internet, lets not forget local papers never get things wrong or embellish the truth do they...

Missing dinner because of fatal crash = OP Accepts it happens.
Missing dinner because Police have closed road so someone can lay flowers in the road = OP and normal people going

I understand that, but for the op is way out of line thinking his dinner was way important than another humans life.
Hope he chokes the next time he manages to get a table.
My dinner was not worth more than some-ones life, but it was far more higher up my list of priorities than a bunch of flowers being left in the central reservation.Hope he chokes the next time he manages to get a table.
I'll also remember to check for fish bones, thanks for the heads-up!

Nice to know that getting a good meal is more important than providing a family with a little closure and opportunity to pay their respects.
