A chap who works on a farm near our village in Somerset forgot to lock the tailgate on the trailer he was pulling in his tractor. As soon as he went uphill after being loaded, he dropped about 10 tons of potatoes out the back of the trailer but didn't notice. It wasn't the spuds that caused the chaos though. It was the local community loading up their bags, wheel barrows, boxes, wheelie bins etc. with the spoils.

He still blushes whenever it gets mentioned.

Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

Very similar thing happened to a family member. Only it was two mountain bikes stood on one of those racks on top of a car which came flying straight off and hit the roof of their van before bouncing off and through the windscreen of the car behind.

When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

Being a runner, I've found quite a few things over the years. Two stand out, the first was a dead body and the second £12k.
One Sunday morning, about 7:30 I was 4 miles from Falmouth. On a bend where they were taking a dry-stone wall away I saw what looked like a large blue bundle in the workings. Thought it looked strange, so went over to discover that it was a woman lying face down! It was pouring and she was absolutley soaked. I felt for her pulse, but I my hands were so cold, I couldn't make one out. A car came along, I flagged it down. The driver turned her over and said "she's dead". We had been there at least 5 mins and she had not moved. This is before mobiles. We flagged the next car and got the driver to go to Penryn and get the police. Still standing there in the pouring rain we covered her with a tarp. Seconds later she flings the bloody thing off!!!!!! Shouting and screaming!!!!!
Seems she had had a row with her husband, who had dumped her by the side of the road. She had been so drunk she had gone to sleep there and then. The police thought it was very funny!!!
The second was a wallet and a package. They belonged to an officer at Culdrose. Seems he had put them on the top of his car when filling up! God knows how they had stayed on the top for so long, at least a mile up a very steep hill and loads of bends. He was happy to get them back.
