You cant walk down Blackburn road in Accy
I have just been for a few pints with Less in the Last orders on Blackburn road .
We had a good natter and then left to walk home not a problem you might say WRONG.
as we got just past the junction with willows lane right in front of the car shop there is a box on the road which you are supposed to keep empty now me and less were on the pavment and a black car mounted the pavment and and took up 3/4 of it and very nearly hit less so we stopped and they got out asking why we did not move .
excuse me this is the pavment not the road less said so they got out and started pushing and threatning us just because we walked on the pavement .
If you cant walk on the pavement where can you walk

Re: You cant walk down Blackburn road in Accy
With the subject line I thought you where going to start on a subject I ahve been dying to post...
Is blackburn rd in England? If so then how come theres different parking laws.. On blackburn rd your allowed to park on double yellows... your allowed to double park your even allowed to park sideways onto the path... your deffo allowed to park on the path down blackburn rd and ****** anyone with a pram or a wheelchair..
its the only area I know where parking laws seem to be different to the rest of the country
oh and if you feel like a chat... find a car illegally parked and go to the drivers side thus standing in the road and stay there chatting while cars try to get around you.
hey and I live a spit away just off blackburn rd... no one sent me any paperwork about the new parking rules

Re: You cant walk down Blackburn road in Accy

Re: You cant walk down Blackburn road in Accy
I hope you're both not too shook up by it, never any witnesses with these incidents and I'm sure the police wouldn't do anything anyway, definately agree it seems to be one rule for one and different for another!

Re: You cant walk down Blackburn road in Accy
Sorry too hear about this Mick. I hope you and Less are alright. I take it that there’s no CCTV in the area?

Re: You cant walk down Blackburn road in Accy
Time to phone the Observer I think.
Maybe AccyWebs next mission could be the parking on Blackburn Road.

Re: You cant walk down Blackburn road in Accy
Yes Doug we are ok Thanks
I dont think there is a camera in that area but if anyone knows different then please let me know
I agree with kipax there is allways a van or car parked on the pavement or even driving down the pavment i have seen this before now.
but never seen a trafic warden down there .
i wonder why
I hope your ok less i know it was a shock for you too

Actually Mick, the way I remember it, I stopped because a piece of black metal was coming towards me across the curb, he stopped and because I didn't move quick enough for him to get on the pavement, he deliberately revved his engine and advanced until he touched my legs.
The next thing he is out of his car threatening us because we didn't move out of his way, with his whimpish bespectacled mate joining in. I thought we would be enjoying hospital food in the near future, but I'm pleased that even though he tried to joggle me to one side and threatened us,we stood our ground and he went back to his car and we can relate this tale to others.
