Should he still be driving at 97?

You don't have to explain racism to me!

Obviously PECS

The joke that was posted was not offensive, it was just a parody of so many of the Daily Mail articles which really are offensive. But I am sure that those who complained were already aware of that.

Calling the man .phil the Greek was offensive but I don’t believe the poster meant to be offensive

It was another poster who said she refers to him as Phil the Greek .

Me! it is used regularly.. think it started yrs ago in Private Eye.

So you call Dianne Abbott, Diane the Jamaican?

Potatoes are immigrants!

Surely not King Edwards ?

I see PP has at last written, or at least signed, an apology.
Well done. I think someone in the royal household is keeping a close eye on here

Probably the insurance has been sorted so he is now able to speak.

Good grief, that woman is now on the front page displaying the letter, gross

I do think that continually “blabbing” to the press to ensure her 10 minutes of fame is extremely crass.

A private letter is a private letter , thankfully it was typed or hand writing experts would pounce

I wonder how the other woman, the driver, feels about this - embarrassed at her passenger embracing the limelight?

I'm not so sure we should blame this woman for going to the media. I like to think I wouldn't do it but they could be paying her money she really needs. Also she won't have had media training and I doubt anything in her life has prepared her for this situation. So many situations where we can't know how we would react because until it happens to us.

A similar thing I don't understand is all those tributes at Cardiff football ground for a player who hadn't yet started training for them let alone played a match. Florists must be pleased.

Is there not a difference in laying flowers in tribute to the dead to posing for the papers with a fractured wrist ?

Yes, Annie and I don't think I put it very well. Just saying another thing I don't understand. Life is puzzling me a lot at the moment.

I totally get laying flowers as a tribute and mark of respect, the young mans sister visited he football ground yesterday and I pray she found comfort in the tributes to her brother.

I do understand it, people do now lay flowers following a tragedy , the death of a young man is a tragedy . A fractured wrist is painful and inconvenient for a while but not a tragedy.

I feel sorry for this woman. She is in this situation through no fault of her own and she is being led down a path that she may well regret later. I don’t know her or her circumstances but I can understand how she may well have been caught up in the moment. I can’t criticise her for that. It was a horrible accident and everyone concerned must be still badly shaken. The debris from the crash is being sold on eBay.

I am sorry she was hurt, but it was her choice to give interviews to the press and on tv and now have a private letter published on the front page of a newspaper

I totally agree with you GrannyGravy !!

If I had an accident whether it was my fault or not I wouldn't complain that the other party hadn't called me to see how I am ….. that's ridiculous. And now he has written a letter she has sold the contents to the highest bidder - needy or not - that smacks of wanting her minute of fame.

Gosh Parsley I didn't know that. Do they have a letter of authenticity [grin}

I can't believe how this lady is acting. And I haven't heard of anyone writing a letter of apology after an accident. guilty or not.
Its all so ridiculous. Accidents happen all the time.

But I'm glad to see the death of the young footballer is being acknowledged. I thought it was so very sad.
