Socoder -> Off Topic -> A rock in the road....

Just saw this on the news about a rock that had a road built around it years ago in Soulbury, Bucks:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-35918470

The council said they'd move it after a car crashed into it recently, which, let's be honest, is the sensible thing to do (having had the "sense" to build the road around it in the first place).

Had a look on Google Maps and judging by the oil slick, this isn't the first time someone's come a cropper! It stands to reason - it's a stupid place to leave a massive rock.

.... That's bizarre!!

I see the ye-olde photo has a lamppost next to it, whereas the modern one doesn't.
.. I expect that doesn't help.

Probably a horse crashed into it.

To be honest... if I was in the area, not knowing the roads, and bumped into that, I'd be stotting!

I use "Stotting" as well...

Though, my usuage usually has a "la" after it...

"I was in the spar, and this old lady nicked the last loaf of bread... I was f***ing stotting la!"

I don't use the term "stotting" but I was aware of it and its meaning.

That's no rock, it's a boulder... and it's the size of a f***ing beach ball.
