There’s something very poetic about the huge number of reply’s to this persons post calling him out for his ignorance and stupidity. If these people are to be believed then the sand is to cover up metal that would otherwise be slippery for the horses.

UK bashing is becoming a bit of a thing on some forums.

 

If some people are to be believed then the UK is the only place in the entire world with any problems and everywhere else is just f**kin' heavenly!

I would have loved to have seen the look on that pairs faces when the judge handed those sentences down.

Maybe change the title to ‘making the news two weeks ago’

Come on, be fair - it's not always possible to find something from Today's news to get incensed by.  🤷‍♂️

Should the hospitals hand out clothes?

I feel sorry for this guy, but would just be glad to have made it out the crash alive

Looking at that crash I would be surprised if my underpants where still in a state in which I could wear them...

No, they shouldn't hand out clothes, but maybe they shouldn't be so free and easy with the scissors! I think the idea is that if they need to get a body undressed in A&E they just cut the clothes off with hardcore scissors,  rather than undressing. In the name of expediency and minimal movement, in case of spinal injuries. Which is fair enough.

 

Speaking from bitter personal experience, it is quite annoying. I lost a good jacket and pair of jeans that way, and got sent home in scantily arse covering hospital pyjamas. I vaguely remember that they even cut a necklace off as well.  Only myself to blame as I was rushed in there after an episode of youthful over indulgence!

I told them their wee scissors wouldn't cut through the layers of ballistic in my trousers and to take them off. I almost cried when the scissors cut them no bother 😉
