A Different Kind of Car-wash
Discussion
Water firm Veolia has apologised.
Veolia... hmm, private water company with strange name.
Apparently been other burst problems in the area.
Just like everything now in this country, bound to be foreign owned.
It is, it's French. Couldn't give a ...
Imagine if that car had been a few seconds later, full of kids in the back, at the speed limit.
Yeah, that bears thinking about.

Lucky that didn't happen. It's a 50mph stretch there IIRC.
Veolia have spent the last 5 weeks putting a massive new main and pumping station in right outside our dealership. They all seem to be Irish or Eastern European, but they are currently ahead of schedule so they don't hang around. Caused chaos around here as the main road is closed. That is only 6 miles from the pics!
Rumour has it that St.Georges Hill residents need more water to top their pools up.

They can't even collect the rubbish properly so what chance they can look after miles and miles of water pipes...

Reports are the driver heard a noise and got out of her car. It was then swallowed up amid a river of sand and mud from a burst 12" main. That stretch of the A320 has had a couple of similar incidents recently, albeit without semi-amphibious vehicles ending up in them.
Was the driver already stationary? Why would you stop? Or was the whole street effected but it only gave way under the weight of the car.wibble cb said:

Worrying amount of brown frothy stuff in pic 6!
I knew I'd heard of Veolia before

Bus company that looks after water pipes (and apparently rubbish?). Excellent.
