This is the nearest bit of main road to our house.

That could cause a smash.

Any bangers on the A64?

It's inappropriate to treat tragedy with levity, but "Southend murder: victim airlifted to hospital" seems wrong somehow.

Not sure if Upminster counts as the provinces (it is inside the M25), but someone there seems to think it's appropriate to fly-tip a horse:

The really dodgy thing is a 31-year old eating a Milky Bar!

'The education lawyer said: "It was a little bit surprising, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before - that's for sure."'
