“The main road is fifty yards away. There are at least 7 emergency workers in this one photo and bringing a team from Carmarthen would cost a fortune, all for this idiots hope of saving a couple of minutes.
All the houses along this road are accessible from either side of the ford, what was this driver thinking about? Parcelforce should be charged the cost of all the emergency services sent to this incident, it was totally preventable.”
