Fine example of some people jumping the gun when writing stuff down and not giving a second thought to people who actually read these comments and how it may affect the people involved and their family & friends. I'm glad that your uncles injuries where not worse than they are and I wish him a speedy recovery.

Saj, it wasn't crash for cash. I saw it and it looked pretty genuine.

I saw the crash too and I'm sorry for people involved, I was just trying get people who commented on an accident last week in Daubhill that accidents do happen and are not always a scam.

Councillor Morris must be involved in this somewhere.
We all know that Bolton is the only place in the country where accidents happen and where shops close.
We also know who to blame.

Why do these accidents happen?
Bolton used to be a glorious,proud town. The most magnificent town in the country. Now I'm ashamed.
Get Fatman Morris out.

What's happened to our once proud town.
I haven't seen a gritter for at least 10mins.
Morris out.
