Bingle on the M1- southbound

[Plain Talker 11]

Bingle Jells for dyslexic Carol singers

 

Not dyslexic, but definitely suitable for the Reverend Spooner!

Must confess, I'd never heard of a bingle before. It's great little word though isn't it.

It was the best word for the situation.

 

There were 5 cars, all in a tidy little line, but all involved in a bump with a car in front of them (or from the viewpoint of the front driver - bumped into the car behind).

 

It wasn't bad enough to be called an incident, a crash or even a prang. 'Bingle' seemed to be the relevant word for the situation.

 

Dooo-yooo-speeeek-Eeeengleeeeesh?????

 

I think you mean to ask 'Do you speak English' and my answer is Yes, do you?

A bingle involving charabancs on the Queens highway is now considered a frequent occurence in the 21st Century.

Bingle is a great name for a dog. Maybe a king charles spaniel.

If people were hurt, my OP would have been -

 

Crash on the M1 - Southbound

 

If anyone is planning a drive to London today, there has been a bingle crash southbound on the M1 between Junctions 13 and 12.

 

5 cars, all confined to the fast lane- no major injuries from what I could tell as I rubbernecked from the passenger seat on the way past it looked like people may have been injured which is a really bad way for them to start Christmas festivities. Will probably cause bank backs for quite a while as they load the cars onto tow-trucks and people into ambulances.

I hope no one was seriously injured.

Hope everyone has a safe journey and a happy Christmas.

I think the general direction of this thread proves that your use of the word 'bingle' was a poor choice.

 

If you had said 'minor accident' or 'minor bump' then the discussion would've been about the accident rather than the word 'bingle'

Motorway screens bid to stop rubbernecking by motorists...

They should rename them to Bingle Blockers.

Ah- but I don't consider 5 cars to be 'minor'.

Bingle was still the best word.
