HOW DUMB CAN PEOPLE BE ??
burgerman:
UNBELIEVABLE :shock:
We have a local ford in Headly (hampshire) which usually trundles along about 12-18 inches deep (perfect) BUT Due to the recent drop of rain it is now showing 3 metres (10 foot) on the depth stick :shock: and a fair old flow to say the least,
Just heard on the local radio that the police have closed it off for safety reasons----- on 3 seperate occassions yesterday people had to be rescued from the roofs of there cars which had been washed away down stream :roll: I dont know what vehicles were involved but there was no mention of any 4x4s (trust me, our local radio would have mentioned it if they were) I may be slightly more experienced than mr joe average on water crossings but it aint rocket science to see if the depth stick is showing 10 foot its propbally unlikely youre going to make it #-o
Might pop down there over the near future to keep an eye on things though :wink:
Boggert:
He he he I know the ford well and use to avoid it in anything other than mid dry summer when I have my Astra!
Some people just don't think! LOL
