One of our drivers has a son who lives with family in Rochdale. Yesterday on his way home from school he and a mate were set upon by 7 Asian men. at some point a cab driver in a car with the name "orbit" on it mounted the pavement and ran into the 2 lads. Our drivers son was due to have an MRI scan this afternoon. I haven't heard any more yet.

Correction. It was not Orbit on the car, it was Globe.
It seems that the driver of the car was "directing" the 7 attackers.
The car registration has been passed to the police along with mobile phone footage of the incident and pictures showing the dent in the front of the car where it hit our drivers son.

According to your reckoning it must be on one of those wind farms in the North or Irish Sea.
