Take care…Tony.

hi tony
thanks mate, I do consider myself lucky but at least i’m still here, I have rough days but who doesn’t & life is what you make it, you have to try & make the best of what you’ve got & get on with it.
I also think that any accident really isn’t trivial as its bound to have an affect in some way or another.
cheers

Looks like a little ol Scammell putting that Scanny back on its feet.? 
Nowadays there would be at least a couple of blinged up megawreckers to do the job.
Blimey gaz that shocked me. You must be a brave man to even look at that wreck. Sorry to hear off your injuries can’t imagine what that would be like all I can say is looking at that I’m surprised your here now.
All the best.

Here’s one on the M4 near Reading - Police came did a rolling block and let us turn round - Once it was out they came back and did the same again - No lane closures. No drama. No traffic tailbacks. Those were the days
