This is why the amount of "road furniture" needs to be reduced.
There's name signs, slow signs, speed signs, duck signs, deer signs, idiot boards, school signs, signs with local radio frequencies on, entrance signs, exit signs, bus stop signs and they all have posts that cyclists and motorcyclists can be smashed into in the event of an accident.
And that's just the signs, there's also benches, bins, bus stops, bollards, Armco crash barriers, etc.
Too much clutter, too many dangers.
Climber, always good to descend things into a petty argument.
Without speaking on anybody's behalf I interpreted it to suggest that these are the kind of platitudes being given but with a realisation that words can never convey the suffering loved ones are going through.
RIP
Thanks, you put it better than I could have done.
Climber, no offence intended. Having recently lost a club mate and trying to talk to his parents at the vigil, it's clear to me that the words of strangers have limited value in the circumstances (hence the etc). The only thing you can really offer is acknowledgement.
RIP chap. My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.
RIP fella. Doing what you loved etc...
You forgot 'blah blah blah' - I think to say "etc" in such a context is dreadful. It looks like you couldn't be bothered to finish the sentence when talking about a guy who died doing what he loved.
Rest in Peace mate.
Indeed tragic, loving vibes to all those involved.
Thoughts and sympathies to family and friends.
