Utter sense.    Wish people would record videos in landscape not portrait though!

Too many of those could make a mess of the road.

I've seen exactly the same thing happen at the Whitchurch Road bridge (headroom 11 feet/3.3m) in Pangbourne.  The skip damaged the road, and I think West Berkshire Council went after the driver.

My father was Irish, so as I like to keep up with modern trends I’m now feeling shocked and discriminated against, and in need of urgent counselling and of course any financial grants that are available.

No, it was a (fairly) local skip company.
