Woman driving a mini crashed into back of van - while pleasuring herself | Gloucestershire Echo

I'd been wanting to post this yesterday but could think of no legitimate excuse. Ever since it appeared, people have been raising eyebrows and saying the story's made up. It's too trivial for Snopes to look at but I thought I'd have a snap poll. You need to reed the report to see why it's so suspect.

True or not true?



[it's the Gloucestershire Echo, not the Worcester Post - I got the wrong one in poll question but never mind]



eta: the original link is down. The story was repeated a thousand times across the nation's news-sites - try http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/Woman ... story.html

Probably true. The same story was in the Western Gazette. It was in my Facebook the other day.

Well the article seems to have been removed. I guess that answers that.

That's odd. When I link to it from Facebook it's still there.

The western gazette link is still there, but the Echo reports it has been removed.

It is quite probably based upon an actual event.

However the option in the poll are far to limited for me to feel like participating.

Only the seafood guys really know fore sure.

Well, and the young lady in question, probably.

That was no lady, or should that be, there was no lady, and probably no incident, just a fish van driver with a vivid imagination.
