Bradworthy News - June 1999

Somerfield’s bollards

Now here’s a tale about a local Lotus owner and a wholly, totally innocent bollard outside Somerfield’s in Holsworthy. (Im)patiently waiting for a parking space, our hero spotted a shopper leaving, and in a whirl of high-revving, wheel-spinning, eye-catching, gas-guzzling, machismo, he surged forth at top speed into the recently vacated space.

Unfortunately our hero hadn’t noticed that the car that had just left was a lot shorter than his and ended his shopping trip impaled on one of the bollards. I’m not at liberty to tell you the name of the Bradworthy owner of the Lotus Eclat involved.Picture of Alans Lotus stuck on a bollard

Sarah had been wondering last weekend why the car was parked facing into the car space, rather than outwards as is more usual!
