Hey everyone,

Last week at the Goose green roundabout a kid pretented to crash into our car and faked an injury (rolling around). He did not even touch the car. I asume to claim insurance or to ask for money. He had a mate with him. Luckily a bystander who witnessed this appalling display immediately came to help (thank you!!) and after a minute or two we persuaded him to get up. He then laughed, got up and cycled onwards (dangerously into opposite direction).

Just wanted to make everyone aware of this, as it is likely to happen again and maybe some of you already witnessed similar events. Personally, I am getting a dashcam.

What I would say is that if you witness something like this, please help out, be vocal, like 'our' bystander did. To whom I am very thankfull as it made a real difference.


Take care!

There's this famous clip from a few years ago of exactly that.




Guy pretends to be hit, accomplice (pretending to be "just a passing stranger") steps out saying he saw everything, he'll be a witness etc. When the driver ponts out she has a dashcam, they both run off.


Well worth getting a dashcam.

    • Trump suffers from opening his mouth before putting his brain in gear. Needs to take a lesson in statesmanship from Carney, slow well thought out responses to media questions. How about Carney for President of the US as well. That should upset some and more.
    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.  
    • Niko completed a third job for me now. A leaking tap that was oozing from everywhere. I called Niko in the morning, showed him a recording of the problem,  and he was over with a new tap, fitted within the hour. Job done, perfect! I know I can always rely on Niko. He is my go to plumber.
