Sign found in the village of Imber, Wiltshire, England. The entire population of the village underwent a forced eviction in 1943 to allow the Ministry of Defence to use the land/buildings to train soldiers for the invasion of Europe during WW2. Still used by the army and is opened a few times a year

People of Reigate: The “British Chocolate Biscuit Assortment” I bought (in Canada) uses UK places as biscuit names. Amusing, but I’m puzzled why Reigate is honoured! I’m sure it’s a nice place, but not well known internationally. Note: other oddities are “Dorest” (Dorset?) and “Val Royal” (?)

[HIRING] Hiring for digital picture in the style of linked picture but focused on Somerset and Dorset area with iconic landmarks and countryside/coast - Budget £250-£350

Have now commissioned an artist to do this. [HIRED] -. HIRED .-

Turn Around: Within a week £50 bonus added.

The busier the image the better.

Similar style to the attached with houses but no palm trees or horses.

Looking for built up sections (i.e. houses) and rural bits with countryside and coast as their area borders Somerset to the north and Dorset to the south.

Any inclusion of local landmarks would also be great, for example, Dorset - clock tower in Weymouth, Corn exchange in Dorchester, Somerset - Dunster Castle; Ancient Mariner statue, Watchet; Dunkery Beacon; Tarr Steps; Raleghs Cross pub on Exmoor for Somerset and Colmers Hill near Bridport for Dorset. Important communities to include for Dorset = Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport, Sherborne, Beaminster and important communities for Somerset = Williton, Minehead plus numerous villages all around.

Contract will be sent upon finding the right artist.

Picture to give example of style looking for. http://imgur.com/a/S80cyFY

Elderly grandmother served notice of intended prosecution re failure to stop, failure to report an accident and driving without due care and attention (Dorset, UK)

Posting this here at the suggestion of r/legaladvice

My grandmother approached a roundabout that was under repair and a bus squeezed around her, clipping her side. The bus then proceeded to continue on its journey and made no effort to stop. A few days later she received a letter in the post notifying her that the police intended to prosecute for failure to stop, failure to report and driving without due care and attention. The bus company has not said anything or made any attempt to contact her.

All I can think is that some passer-by saw the collision and contacted the police.

My grandmother has been left distraught and unable to sleep or eat. She feels she is the aggrieved party, as the bus clipped her and then drove off and she faces criminal proceedings.

Can anyone suggest what she should do next or give constructive advice?
