My Mum hit a bollard like that in a supermarket car park in the 80s in my Dad's 7 Series. She actually tried to claim it hadn't been there when she parked!

I saw a guy in a Porsche Cayenne actually hang his hat on a bollard while he put his shopping in the car then jumped in and turned into it as he pulled out. He new it was there i guess he just had stuff on his mind.

This women new it was there. She is just pissed off she forgot. Now has spent the last 9 months schemeing ways to make her self blameless as she cant understand why her forgetfullness is the problem! What a muppet!

Lets replace all bollards with 6ft pink dildos! she can go feck herself then!!

Where is Judge Judy when you need her!

Its about time this blame and claim parasitical culture is stopped for good.
How on earth could sainsburys be to blame for someones inability to drive safely.

As posted earlier if she didnt notice the bollard maybee she wouldnt have noticed a small child. At least the bollard done its job blamelessly and stopped the dullard entering a pedestrian area WHY WHY WHY is it allways someone elses fault?

That's just the angle that the pic was taken from, that makes the car look bigger than it really is...

It's surely a Jizz.

It must be a small car because...

When she wound down her window and leaned out she saw that her car had hit a bollard near the front wheel on the left side of the car.
Either that or it's left hand drive...

Oh come on, you're all being too hard on this poor woman.
I reckon the Government should pass a law requiring all bollards to be, oh, let's say, three metres tall, so as to be visible from all vehicles.
Or perhaps each bollard should be "talking", "Attention, I'm a bollard and I'm here in front of you".
It beggars belief, the idiocy daily revealed.

Now, aren't you missing a trick here?
Surely you are being subject to "mental suffering and distress" having to deal with those complaining of such?
Therefore, you too "have a claim".
I have a vision of a world where we are all perpetually sueing each other.
That seems to be the direction in which we are heading.
Yup, explains much.
Still, it's presumably contributing to "economic growth".

I like the fact that a member of Sainsbury's 'executive office' is going to be working with the couple - to help them learn to watch where the fk they're going perhaps?

Maybe they can run a training session in-store? Block off an aisle, install those inflatable tubes they use at a bowling alley and let them practice with an empty shopping trolley?

"He [the wee fat man]is now calling for anyone else who has had their car damaged in the same car park to come forward and join his legal action."

My on my, I bet the first meeting of these like minded individuals would be a giggle to attend.

Oh and I know some one who pulled up the anti-ram-raid bollards outside the warehouse one evening and then reversed into them. . . . In a. 2 months old £100k car . . . . but he did admit it was his fault

I think that is a bit extreme, talking bollards indeed! Although I like the idea of making them all 3 metres high. To aid the visually impaired, in low light conditions, how about we illuminate them?

I've finished the design and built a prototype.



Do you think they'll catch on? Can anyone come up with a name for such a product? wink

I did something similar to this a couple of years ago. Parked up next to a small (2ft high) wall on a client's (just completed) building site. Spent 30-40 minutes leant up against the driver's side of my car chatting to the client and forgot about the wall. When I got back in, the wall wasn't visible from the car and there were no other cars around. So just wound full lock on and pulled away. The passenger side front wheel hit the wall square on and did a good job of demolishing it with no damage done to my car at all.

My employer was having none of it liability wise, so I had to pay for one of our masons to rebuild the wall using the original blocks and then re-render it. Didn't even cross my mind to bill the client for putting in a wall between two parking spaces that is invisible from inside a car. I missed a trick!
