Hit by a bus

[sewer rat]

Not me or mine but my house !!
About 11.30 this morning, a bus collided with the original victorian wood and slate canopy over our front door, more or less destroying it and ripping it from it's securing holes in the wall.
Have called the insurance company and on hearing the name of the coach company involved, they have decided against sending a claims advisor and are sending a loss adjuster tomorrow. Meanwhile I have borrowed some police cones and have had to cordon off our front door area and pavement in case anything should fall on pedestrians.

Brings a new meaning to the saying the bus stops here good luck with the loss adjuster...jacob

Ouch!!

Just glad all of you are OK rat, bricks and mortar can be replaced.

perhaps a sign advising umbrella use / hard hats mandatory with the cones?

All the best.

Crikey! Glad no-one was hurt. Hope they sort it quickly for you, and fingers crossed there's no additional structural damage.

golly doesn't bear thinking about what might have happened... so glad you are all unhurt.

My sis in law had her car rammed down the road 50 yards by the bin lorry last month - total write off, they claimed not to have seen it!

[FionaH]

Flipping heck, or words to that effect! Glad you and yours are ok

Crikey - thank goodness you're all ok - hope they sort it for you without too much trouble.

[kirsty b]

A blessing that none of you were hurt. Is the coach company notorious round your way then??

[zazen999]

Blimey oh Reilly - close call.

Hope you get it repaired and repaired back to original features - it's not going to be an easy job that.

Glad that you and your family are OK.Thankfully nobody was leaving your house at the time.How did it happen?

[northepaul]

Thats bad luck Rat,
Even though were were not physically hurt, I expect you were shaken up.
Fingers crossed with the insurance company, and hope you can get it sorted out soon!

[selfraising]

That's not good. Glad nobody was hurt and hope it gets sorted soon.

[Florence Fennel]

Sorry to hear about this Rat - hope you get it sorted soon and I'm glad you and your family weren't hurt.
