Keeonah Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 As a lot of you know, I work for Parcelforce. On Wednesday I was out doing my round as normal. I had just done a delivery and was going to get back in the van. As I rounded the front of the van to get back in, a building supplies lorry overtook the van. The problem was he was travelling far to fast and far to close to me. I had to leap out of the way otherwise things would have been catastrophic. As it is my foot got caught on the edge of a pothole and I have twisted my ankle. Why do people drive like bloody maniacs. It used to be taught that if you see a hazard on the road you change down a gear and slow down. These days it seems to be the complete opposite.This has now led to me having to have time off work, which I don't get paid for and my holiday starts today as well. Happy days. Gary.

Emma Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Good god, sounds like a close call Gary. [emoji32] So you'll be hobbling all the way to the bar in Tunisia. On the plus side, after a few pints you probably won't feel a thing! [emoji6] Take care mate and happy holidays!

NOBELHOWLUC49 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Some people are just crazy and have no thought for others... Mind you these people are usually the first ones to make a noise when something happens to them.. Have really good holiday and I hope your ankle feels better soon.
