Nice to be here

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:17:45 GMT

Just wanted to say how nice it is to be able to come home and post on here, something I take for granted normally.
I had a very near death experience today on the A22 near East Grinstead, I was literally an inch away from being hit head on by a skip lorry that swerved straight towards me in an attempt to avoid the queue of cars in front of it which it had not seen until the last second.
Had I not managed to manouver out of the way, I would probably not be here now, we were both doing 40mph in opposite directions.

Sadly, the lorry managed to plough into 2 other cars and pushed them into another, no serious injuried but a right old mess on the road and several very very angry people.

I am now going to the pub to give thanks.

I love you all. Well, most of you )

Tony

I hear they are going to rename it Grimstead after your unfortunate experience. I think we all forget the risk we take every time we get into the car until you have a near miss like you one. I had a fairly nerve-racking drive from Soll to Munich on Tuesday afternoon with cars speeding past on the motorway at up to 160kph in snowy conditions and temperatures of -6C. Thankfully nothing happened but was so easy to imagine how easy a really serious pile-up could have happened at any second!

Tony,
Please look after yourself. If anything happened to you it would get very lonely on here :cry:.

And well done for getting out of the way of that lorry :thumbup:

Good to hear you're ok Tony. My mum and dad's top floor was gutted by fire today, fortunately they weren't in there. What a strange day.

Enjoy your drink, I'll have one for you :thumbup:

Glad you're safe and sound.

Pub sounds like a great idea.

This place would be different without your humour.

It all goes to make you realise how fragile our lives are, and how easily some moron could take it all away.

The mayor of Mayrhofen has just been on to say how glad he is that you're ok. He doesn't want to think about what would have happened to the tourist economy of Mayrhofen if you'd not made it! ;)

Glad you're ok :thumbup:

I was actually thinking about your numerous recommendations for the place... I wasn't insinuating that you eat/drink enough to support the economy! ;)
