Relayed to me by my housemate, who works just down the street from this.
Kay, so yesterday, there was a large van fire at a busy junction in the middle of the city where Housemate works. Two vans involved, both carrying gas cylinders; the one stuffed full had smart drivers who got away from the fire before there was a big bang. AFAIK it was an accident, and not a RTC either; they just went up. It made a big mess anyhow.
Now this junction is annoying, it's part of the city's one-way system; you go down the two-lane stem of the Y, and either go left or right, and the fire was riiight on the right-hand edge of the middle island. It congested the whole city (as one would expect) but that's not the suck...
Some wench, because of the congestion, had gone the wrong way round this part of the one-way system, determined to get to wherever she was wanting to go. So she had gone down this right-hand road, and come face-to-face with the fire engine dealing with the van fire...and yelled at the firefighters to move so she could get past!!
You fail wumman!! Can you not see the smoke, and the burnt mark on the tarmac (it has to be replaced) and the fact that you are going the wrong way?!
To just add to the stoopid...someone working in the same place watched this farce, and said 'Isn't that one of the the Highways Lawyers?
