Never a good sign

Approaching work I see two of of our neighbours standing outside the front door looking up at the side of the building. "Uh-oh", I think. "This can't be good". Not as bad as it seems, one of the delivery/pick-up drivers managed to lightly swipe the side of the building pulling off and shattering the downpipe as well as taking a small chunk out of the brickwork. It wasn't even a really long lorry and or even constrained by parked vehicles.

The good side to this is that obviously we know who's done it, they've admitted to it, and we have all their paperwork; it could have been worse. Several years ago a turning lorry managed to catch one of our workers vehicles on their tails and pushed it sideways across into another car (mine as it happens) and then drove off without realising. Fortunately I was upstairs near a window and watched it happen and got down and out before he'd gone too far.

In this instance I was impressed by the pattern of tire marks on the road. I've seen tires being scraped sideways, but a straight line a sharp blip turning into an inward curve is quite impressive. One set was almost circular.

[Additional- The boss has just arrived, he's side-swiped a parked lorry and dented both his nearside doors. Completely his fault and has done nothing to the lorry. Hmm just seems to the day for it today]
