“by bob63- I'd say Bath is on the A4, the A36 skirts around the side?”

“Could have been nasty ,remember the biker that was killed at Kennford 20 odd years ago .If my memory serves me correctly he hit a brand new bed that was lying in the road..just after midnight no one came forward then.RIP.”

“Saw the bath along with a few others and the van parked up in a layby... why the police who hurtled past 2 minutes later didn't see it amazes me.... there were literally 10-20 scrap baths in the back of the lorry.... looked like a 5-7 tonner heavily sign written with "cash paid for scap metal". Surely there are cameras on that stretch of road?”

“If a class of 9 year olds were doing a lesson in class pretending to be journalists we might expect them to cut out a picture of bath from a magazine and glue it to a page under a made up headline. Daily we suffer this unbelievably weak fodder. Legal car doing legal speed with photo of an empty road. Four horses running towards Tesco, photo showing a horse stood still. Last year the swans were killed at Admirals Hard, Stonehouse. In step the HERALD to help catch the culprits and jog minds but show a photo of swans next to Saltash Bridge.!! jeffro11 sums it up perfectly 'a fully plumbed in bath'!. 'Taking the P**s' . an under statement”

“@cooperman,
The other day you were having a go at nakedwithgoat for making a comment about TD.
Perhaps you don't realise you're a tad obsessed?
It's very noble that you defend the guy but really, there's no need. No-one's going to hurt him you know.”

“lol@jeffro,
Along with the legal car and wayward bath, the excitement's made you bypass the misted windscreen scoop.
Remember, deep breaths...”
