Civil unrest in Leyland, Lancashire

Newportnobby · February 18, 2012, 12:34:28 PM

Several motorists were caught up in a road rage incident at a traffic island in Leyland last night. Leyland council's reaction was considered slightly OTT

With the price of fuel and the mpg (or more like gpm) of those things, the local council have probably run out of funds to move it!!

Are the tracks held together with staples, like the ones on my Airfix Centurion?

Could do with bringing out a few more of them next time a bunch of brainless idiots decide to go on the rampage just to get a free telly, bit difficult to re-offend when you're scattered all over the high street!

I'd been wondering what Cloughie was up to......

OMG! Does that mean the Leyland Posse have now gone militant?

Please keep politics off the forum Sprintex.

I thought that might make you drool a bit

It is actually parked near Centurion Way, and from the other side there;'s a big sign stating 'Made in Leyland'.
The Leyland Massive reckon it's well cool

Nothing political about it, especially where I'm concerned as I have no interest in politics whatsoever! Merely social comment on criminality the same as people would make on here if someone was unlucky enough to post that their house/shed had been broken into and railway items damaged or taken

There are far more politically-motivated postings than mine in the Angry Thread, some of them from our very own Moderators

It's obvious what you were referring to in your post Sprintex. It's politics and I don't want to read about it on a model railway forum.

hi all

as newportnobby said it's next to a traffic island

which just happens to be one of the bussiest in the area

the number of accidents in the first week of it being there was unbelievable i saw at least 6 and i don't go past that often

it's not too bad now people have become used to it being there

Am I allowed to speculate if it was built by British Leyland and that's as far as it got before it broke down?

i always thought they put the tank there to sort out the giant mole problem that Leyland suffered from last year

it must have worked as the molehills have gone now

it can be funny driving to Gaugemaster in ford and passing ford airfield market where they have what the locals merely call "the plane on a pole" its a royal navy hunter mounted in a kind of take off pose but with gear already up and airbrake down pose 25 ft off the ground you always see that little wiggle or brake usage when someone see's it for the first time,,,,
