This could go into just about any section of PH, but goes to show how lawless things are becoming.

This morning I head back from the supermarket towards home. Come around a corner to see a forklift, outside a restaurant forecourt, forks at about chest height, ramming the offside can of a Hilux. Hilux is about to tip and has a wobble before dropping back down. This takes a second or two to process, instant thought is disgruntled customer/employee or something dumping a pickup on the restaurant. Except, as I get level, there's someone in the driver's seat of the Hilux! Forklift driver then hightails it down the road at 5 or maybe even 6mph.

I spun round and stopped to help the poor sod in the Hilux. He was waterboard, a scally had gone to a massive water works nearby and nicked the forklift, and this guy had tried to stop him. How the forks didn't penetrate the door skin of the Hilux I've no idea, but that guy should enjoy his Christmas and maybe buy a lottery ticket.

Waiting to see now if the BiB want a statement from me.

Wonderful people around here!

Don't know what to say about that except that most scrote behaviour doesn't surprise me anymore.

Presumably this was the 1980s?

You didn't pursue the forklift then ?
Probably too fast for you

Did it have a tow bar and a caravan club of Ireland sticker?

Having seen what he'd just done to the other guy, I didn't fancy getting involved with the scally!

According to local news the forklift's been recovered in Bradford.

It's a fair bet the guy who nicked it has a tipper transit and likes dags, put it that way.

This made me chuckle, must have been reminiscent of the Father Ted milk float episode.
