Oban St dilemma by maggiemae

Oban St dilemma

Oban Street was just around the corner for my afternoon walk. As I walked past, this guy asked me if I knew anything about automatic gates! I answered, not personally. Apparently this house having just been sold had given these guys the code for the gate. Ok going in but on the way out they found they had only 5 secs to do so and the gate closed. It locked in on their vehicle's tyre and jumped tracks. It was such a strong gate, they were nervous if they continued to move forward, it would continue to close and scratch their nice vehicle rather viciously! I had one solution which really wasn't practical. They were trying to locate someone who knew what do do.
I didn't go back to find out.
Thankful for;
Red cod for our fish and chip tea! On Fridays,,,,
Whoops.. bit of a bugger moment..

If I had remembered this word I would have had great delight in using it! @julzmaioro

Wonder if it's a Toyota..
April 8th, 2022  
Oh no - what a dilemma. Hopefully they solved it without any damage.

We could give this to Toyota if it was. ... hard to see, @julzmaioro

Wonder whose insurance pays the guys with the truck or the gates.
April 8th, 2022  
Uh oh!
April 8th, 2022  
What a conundrum! I wonder how it was resolved
April 8th, 2022  
Ouch! Great shot but at what price? At least it wasn’t yours.
April 8th, 2022  
What a most unusual disaster! I have never heard of red cod, is it a local speciality?
April 8th, 2022  
Oh no. That is a problem. A unique photo opportunity for you though.

All they could do was call the person who gave them the gate code.
April 8th, 2022  
Ooops!
April 8th, 2022  
That’s not good…at least it was a vehicle and not a person
April 8th, 2022  
Oh dear! Nightmare!
April 8th, 2022  
I wonder if there is a. Manual gear disengage on the gate motor?
April 8th, 2022  
Oh my...What a dilemma.
April 8th, 2022  
I think they might have learnt that eventually Bill @bill_gk when they managed to get hold of the company that installed the gate! A good thought!
April 8th, 2022  
@flowerfairyann Yes, though I made sure the two persons couldn't see me!
April 8th, 2022  
@ludwigsdiana Yes very common here - a bottom feeding fish and very tender but not big. Also so much cheaper than blue cod!

@joansmor The truck was undamaged at this point but the gate would have to be fixed! Having only 5 secs to get through is ridiculous!
April 8th, 2022  
Oh my goodness
April 9th, 2022  
Goodness gracious me! As my Nana would say..
April 9th, 2022  
Oh dear. Hope they managed to escaped unscathed.
