Today should have been the same as any other day. Normally I start work between 6 & 7 am. As a union rep at work at work, I specialise in health & safety requirements. I was requested to attend a conference at Gatwick today rather than my normal work. Well, sounds a pain, but a change from the normal routine eh?.... The subject: Accident prevention. After spending 5 hours in a stuffy room, all I was looking forward to was getting home, after having my head filled by all things safety. Within 5 minutes of home on the A27 near Worthing though....BANG! BANG! BANG!.....Yep, meat in the sandwich of a four car shunt! The middle two, both astra's, the front and rear both vectra's !!!.... Looks like boom time for any Vauxhall wreckers in the Worthing area!
I knew I should have stayed in bed this morning. My car now sits outside in a sorry state, waiting to be towed away and no doubt condemed beyond repair tomorrow. The driver of the front car was from the outback of Wales who spoke to his insurance broker by phone in fluent Welsh! The car I ran into had four Pompey lads in their bosses car. From what I gathered, they we're somewhere they shouldn't have been at the time ! Car is a total write off..... Oooops. Considering I've probably cost them their jobs, they were remarkably good about it.
The police when they decided to turn up, couldn't keep a straight face at the site of four crumpled Vauxhalls imbeded into each other!!.....yeh right, I'm still recovering from split sides!
As I sink glass of wine number five, its times like this you're just thankful it was only material damage. By a miracle no one was hurt. No doubt when it comes to sorting insurance, people will suddenly develop neck pains!!
I never wanted to go to the f*****g stupid meeting in the first place!
I'll get my pushbike...............
