Hi,

The other day I was out driving to a customers house and when I left and did a 3 point turn in their close I unwittingly drove over some broken green beer bottles lying in the middle of the road.

I didn't see them and only felt the crunch, reversed and then saw them.

Well I thought it sounded pretty bad and today the tyre which went over them looks pretty flat.

I think by tomorrow morning it will show that it is indeed punctured. I may be wrong and just thinking this however.

If I it is punctured though, should I get the council to pay for the puncture repair?

I know I will sound like one of those people who tries suing for everything like tripping up over a pavement but I'm not- I've never trying getting compensated for anything before but I'm just a little annoyed that due to the binmen's negligence I now have to foot the bill for a possible puncture repair and take time out getting this done!
 
right, anyway, that's ok - if I see them around that way I'll be sure to drop a bag of "stationary" heavy duty nails in their path so they can see how they bloody well like it hahaha
