Car crashes into a hire skip
Skip Hire is the responsibility of the supplier to look after once it has been hired. Or so I was under the nave impression. it was the annual best vegetable growing competition in 3 months. I was looking forward to it greatly.
I had terrible luck last year. The very night before the comp, a fox came and nibbled on my radishes which had the potential to win it! The fox left the raid on the nearby road after realising he didn’t like the taste of my prized radishes allowing passing cars to squash them into slush. This was the day before the big comp!
To avoid this happening again I started early this year and also created a disposable fence to make sure nothing could interfer with my treasures. I contacted a skip hire company to provide me with a builder’s skip so that I could get rid of old soil allowing me to lay fresh soil to help my vegetables to flourish. You see, i wanted to win so badly that i did all the work myself, with the help of the skip hire company.
I was told the skip was mine for 2 weeks. As my garden and surrounding areas are my pride and joy, I wanted to place the skip on a public highway. I needed a permit for this, but I wanted to win so badly that it didn’t really bother me.
I soon had my skip filled halfway. I was very excited, the work was coming along nicely. I figured I may need another skip hire soon. In my excitement and anxiety, one night I forgot to warn other drivers by placing cones and lights around the skip, that there was indeed a giant skip in the road.
It was around 1:53AM when I was awoken by a massive bang. My first reaction was a plane had crashed into my house, it actually turned out to be an expensive audi slam dunking into my skip outside my house! I rushed downstairs and phoned the police, as I got outside, i discovered the driver was still alive. The audi had saved the day with the high level of gadgets and rock solid shell, doing what they were designed to do.
The police and ambulance arrived and took him away. The next morning I got on the phone to the skip hire company, they informed me that it was responsibility to ensure the safety of road users. They s the skip hire company had done their bit, by providing me with the skip, the permit and the necessary equipment needed to warn drivers at night.
I didn’t win the grand prize, and had to pay for the repair of the \Audi, and pay compensation for his whiplash. Told you I wasn’t lucky!
