Hiya Robbie, yeah she was in the area so wanted to wave at the little lad as he came out of school, it made his day lol.

She said it was a shock at first, cuz there was an almighty bang and then some odd noises, but afterwards she saw the funny side of it

lol, No, They where on the way to a Job at the time though, luckily due to road traffic, they where only doing around 15 Mph at the time, could have been quite serious if they where travelling faster.
