Reply to: There was an old woman from Devizes

[Martin Bank Holiday]

Oh, I'll never get a scrumpy here
No, I'll never get a nice mild beer
Give me England every time, my dear
'Cos you never get surprises livin' in Devizes
However hard I bloomin' try
Seems I'll never get a hot meat pie
In old Somerset's where I'll die
When I die.....


I don't know if those lyrics are from the pen of the late, great Adge Cutler or are the work of a later incarnation pf the band, AKA 2 jocks and a brummie. I suspect the latter because they don't seem to know that Devizes is in Wiltshire :

Like Prince Philip, once they get to a certain age they should have the courage to know when it's time to hand their licence in.

Chauffeurs will be their saviour for their mobility, if those mobility scooters don't quite do it for them, can't come soon enough. Though not too soon or they will be killing more people than the old duffers.

FTFY

Apparently it was the Safeway carpark at the time, in 2004.

Though that's according to Wales on line which has just informed me of armed officers in St. Helen's Road after an assault in an ongoing incident.

Said incident happened in April 2019.

That's what happens when you live in a rift in the space-time continuum!

Heart-attack driver in car park crash - Wales Online

Ah, that's not the Morrison's car park I was thinking of. As you were.

[JohntheBike]

Where did this happen? Morrison's car park? That's strange for Morrison's car park. In fact, I've never heard it know with Morrison's car park. Btw, is there a special prize for the most mentions of Morrison's car park in one thread? Specifically if the thread isn't actually about Morrison's car park? TBH JTB, you should be buried beneath Morrison's car park. Which Morrison's car park are we talking about?

I'm more concerned about the car park!

The carpark in question was unharmed despite being taken over by the EuroCarParks Parking Nazis.

HTH.

In Devizes there is an interesting plaque.

It marks the spot in the market where an unscrupulous old crone was spontaneously struck down dead after issuing the words “may the Lord strike me down if I tell a lie” to an unhappy punter who felt he’d been shortchanged.

Did she reverse her car into it?

Ah crap, that made me laugh so much and I can't rep you for it either.

I'm offended the gender of said married pensioners has become the crux of this story. Disgraceful.

[northernladuk]

two husband and wife pensioners were killed at my local Morrison's car park. Apparently their car had hit the wall with such force to kill them both. Seems a little strange to me given the layout of the car park, as it would take some doing to get up the speed to cause that much damage. Not much comment in the local press about it too. Just a stark report that two pensioners had been killed in Morrison's car park.

Flippin’ heck, she must have really stomped on the accelerator to lose the passenger door and get it wedged that hard.

The peril of gravel driveways perhaps. Needs more finesse than tarmac.
