A Welsh council has been left red-faced after the vehicle reverse alarm on several of its refuse collecting lorries swore at and threatened pedestrians.
Five lorries belonging to the Wrexham County District Council told shoppers to ‘Get out of the way you fat bastard. I’ll break your legs. Get out of the way you fat bastard. I’ll break your legs.” when put into reverse gear.
Council spokesman, Darren Greysuit told WalesOnCraic:
“We’ve had reports that several of our refuse collection lorries have been swearing at shoppers. We are investigating the matter but I’m convinced it was a former employee of ours, Craig Tightnuts, who is behind this. He got sacked last week for photocopying his arse and we know he’s the guy who looks after the reverse alarms on our lorries. If I find him, I’ll be breaking HIS legs.”
Shoppers were alarmed at the reverse alarms. Doreen Trolleybird told WalesOnCraic:
“Normally them things are pretty polite and ask me nicely to move out the way. This was way over the top. I was left emotionally scarred.”
