there are lorries going in and out of the a house building site next to the bus stop which ripple the tarmac up something chronic

the street has been up in arms about this building development so it's not as if the council don't know about it

if it was me i'd probably put it down to experience, but ask the question: what would you do if it was your old dear? tell her to look out and watch where she was going? what if she was blind in both eyes? should she not go out at all? what if she was a fully sighted pensioner? do the rules change then as well?

if someone is negligent then claim, if you fall over in the playground then don't, fairly simple

she also claimed when she fell off a bus because the rear doors are supposed to jam the handbrake on until they are fully closed but there are ways around it for the drivers to make a quick getaway, should she have just shrugged her shoulders and not worried about both her bleeding knees?
