my second favorite crash happened in Maidstone high street outside WH Smiths about 30 years ago.
i don't know if the yoot on here know who busby was so for those who don't, he's a large yellow bird that was the mascot/advertising character for British telecom.
there was a large busby outside smiths handing out balloons so I walked up to him to get a balloon.
"Mister can I have a Balloon?"
(i had worked out that santa clause was a fake so a big yellow bird would have a man inside too)
Busby turned round but as i was standing really close he knocked me to the floor with his big yellow sticking out gut.
I cried a bit.
he gave me 2 balloons and i was happy.
