Previously on "Sockies and the replies that follow..."
.. When a sockie starts a new post, eg Wilmslow's anctics on the motorway, there then follows quite a diatribe about the rights and wrongs of the original post.
The disturbing part being that the event is most unlikely to have happened, or even if it did, not to the imaginary persona of Wilmslow as such. Perhaps to the person behind Wilmslow, maybe. ...
FWIW I reckon Wilmslow is genuine, although his motorway antics may have been slightly exaggerated.
What probably really happened was he was cycling down a country lane on his trusty old sit up and beg delivery bike when suddently up behind him rushed a farmer driving a tractor full of hay. At that moment the farmer took a long swig from his brandy flask, and veered across the road as he impetuously tried to overtake Wilmslow, causing the hay to sway dangerously. As Wilmslow swerved to avoid this, another farm labourer shot past out of nowhere on foot, herding a couple of cows, and Wilmslow, thinking like lightning, was left no choice but to steer into a ditch.
