We had a caravan on the site opposite Butlins in Skegness. The road was always busy and it was hard to cross. My family decided to 'run for it', but my Mum pulled me so hard, I slipped and ended up in the road with one leg out in front of me, a cars wheels only a few inches from my foot.
The story got around and there were calls from the locals to get a subway built.
Sorry Mushroom!
If it's any compensation, I got a really hard smack on the legs from my Mum. Still don't know why it was my fault!
