Engineer came out today, estimated £3700 plus to repair !! And it won't be written off, due to its rarity and pre acc condition.
To top it off bin man came today. As its bin day again, he drove in today and didn't reverse!!
He came and apologised again !! Lol

That is a big number. Have you had any contact from the council regarding it yet?

Such as a child playing and paying no attention to the monster bearing down on them.

I'm not sure on this, but shouldn't he have had a look-out ie. one of the crew?
Any elfin safety people here ?

I hope it all gets sorted quickly Paddy.

Yeah it's a relief really, I kinda knew it wasn't so bad. Just the fact it bent the guttering under the window, which has been repaired today with my bare hands !! Lol. It's really thin so bent rather easy. I've sourced a boot lid in blue black, so a quick swap over. ��

Before you use the video as evidence the other people must have been told you were recording BEFORE you do. Otherwise it can't be used. Just say you told the first guy yur going to record everything and he said ok. He was probably shaken so wouldn't remember.

And your lucky, our bin trucks have huge spikes on the back

Hope they pay out quick. Best of luck
