Just read the thread from start to finished - thought half it had gone missing when I saw how quickly it was getting done!
Nice it's been repaired and kept on the road though, thought it would have been wrote off after the pics.
And what about the council worker? I can understand it would probably easy to hit something like that - half asleep cutting the grass, ear muffs on, swing round/turn round and maybe the back/front of the cutter hits the lampost (lets face of it most of us in council areas always moan about them not getting close to lamposts/edges) - but manners cost nothing, it's not like he's paying (though he may have been told not to admit responsibility himself?). Can't understand why he wasn't at least a bit apologetic though.
