Back to our old neighbourhood in Woodinville for today’s post. Our house was along a small branch off the road. There was a small curve on this branch, and it was known to cause confusion for delivery drivers when they tried backing up. There was a lamppost which was off the hard surface but aligned with the majority of the branch. Consequently, vehicles would back into it. Usually, they noticed quickly but the post had a lean to it for a while after some contacts.

Then, one of the delivery drivers had a go at it with a bit more vigour. The van backed into it hard, and the post was not able to take the punishment. The driver decided not to hang around – no way did they not know what they had done. The utility company had to come out promptly to remove the post and make everything safe. By the time we left, there still had not been a replacement, so things were a bit dim in the evenings.
