But stand by for the crashes - there's a mini near us with several
collisions a week. An enterprising body shop has set up nearby.

Well I live right on the corner at a junction where a mini-roundabout
was replaced by signals, and since then our wall has stayed up. It came
down several times due to crashes at the junction when there was a
mini-roundabout.


Yes - half the drivers in Hackney where I am don't seem to know to give
