    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    The last one (at least) seems fake to me.

    Yeah, the first one is believable though. The wrecker might not have taken water weight into account when hoisting the car out, that's probably what happened there.

    The last one definately looks fake.

    the final photo is a fake. The image can be seen to be superimposed if you zoom in enough.

    Tribesman, thanks for that, I was wondering where it was.
    I thought the Orknies, just a hunch, but, well, you know, that's pretty similar to the west of Ireland (mebbe, at least in harbour wall design, possibly)

    I made a mistake Taffy , I thought it was the one in Inverin (same haulage firm) .
    Its Roundstone in the pictures so go West another 20 miles
    So not only a plonker , the same company did it twice
    And Longs (the second truck in the photos) did the same at Galway docks

    A2:
    when people from a certain area act in a similar, unusual manner then you may suggest that there's "something in the water".
    This "something" refers to a possible (probably fictional) contaminant in the local supply of drinking water that may induce strange behaviour in whomsoever consumes it.

    In this case of course it also refers to vehicles.

    I believed that I had made a funny.

    I know, TaaT, hence my suggestion of whiskey.
