      A tiny success of sorts! The lorry has crawled into a position where it is only blocking one lane. However, it is very, very sick and will need to be rescued. I am excited to see what sort of lorry turns up to rescue a poorly lorry.

          @stavvers @floppyplopper my favourite time for that bridge is when they added sensors to detect a high vehicle approaching and turn the lights red with a warning sign. Because so many drivers saw the lights begin to change and accelerated to get through ๐Ÿ˜†

              @stavvers they could carve it up in place with oxyacetylene torches like a steel whale, to convert it into more portable bits.

                Bad news: I have to leave the house for a few hours. Good news: meant I got to take a closer look at the stricken lorry on the way out. Bad news: I don't know how vehicles work so I couldn't possibly tell you what's wrong with it.

                              @darkling @stavvers no. Shouting and gesticulating are much more important/helpful. Perhaps loudly pointing out the lorry should never have been put into this position etc

                                @stavvers If there aren't at least two more lorries wedged in there when you get back I shall be disappointed.

                                      @stavvers I once saw a bendy bus jack-knifed across the Mile End Road, all 4 lanes, and honestly going on foot right across that traffic while smiling was one of the highlights of my life.
