"fear of some pearly king burgling you through the back door."

Beno, I fear that some of our northern friends may not have understood (bless 'em) your reference to Brighton and back door burgling. Perhaps further confusion amongst our barbaric neighbours may be avoided by explaining that Brighton is a popular seaside town for shirt-lifters.

From the southern border of S.Yorks downwards, you're all a bunch of fairies to us.
I've had a few good weekends down in Brighton when I was younger, touring on an SX Lambretta, the nicest of folk they were, almost reminded me of the glorious north.

You are going to be chased by the so called bunch of injury lawyers/firms for many years. Check if you can stop it before your details are passed on.

Back to the original subject: whilst working for the blue oval a few years ago, I was driving a company van northbound up this road when a southbound woman in a Mk3 Fiesta failed to make the corner and skidded across my lane. As it was dark and wet I was doing less than 20mph; I saw her getting it wrong and was either stopped or very close to stationary when she hit my front offside corner.
No injuries, her car was probably written off, and the van didn't matter as it was going for crash testing later that month. She was very apologetic at the time and admitted full liability although I had no witnesses.
It took over six months before I stopped getting threatening letters from her insurance company claiming that I had somehow forced her onto my side of the road, even though the physical evidence didn't match any of their theories; and despite the fact that we weren't claiming anything for the van.
When it comes to insurance companies, I have already lost faith in humanity. However, against my better judgement, I wrote her a letter directly asking why she was pursuing this course when I had been polite, courteous, helpful (waited with her until hubby arrived), non-judgemental and wasn't trying to claim for anything. She rang me up and explained she was shocked and had no idea this was going on — her insurance company had decided to go on the offensive without telling her.
