Am in Fulwood at the moment and it's causing absolute chaos in the area. Hopefully this can get resolved quickly and without anyone getting hurt!

30 mins negotiation time, if no conclusion, then water cannon, scrape them up and re open the road.

Agreed. Even then if they don't jump sue them for wasting police time.

If you're really going to top yourself please do it quietly and in a way that will inconvenience everyone else who has to pick up your st after you as little as possible.

Then watch numerous PH posters complain about police brutality?!


We generally get an HGV to drive up or back under said bridge thus reducing the drop somewhat before trying to remove them.

We recently also arrested and dealt with such a person for causing a public nuisance. An offence that you can get an enormous prison term for. Their awaiting sentencing.

Perhaps we should bring back the death penalty for attempted suicide?

Wondered why they don't do that on the M/way 4 wagons across the lanes then let the t**t take their chances on missing, saying that then you have to get them off a truck and it's still a long way up. And someone would want compo for a dented roof biggrin (I didn't think you could use the public in that way ?)

Personally i'd try and use a tipper, land em in the sand or preferably hot tar then tip the ****** out biglaugh
