[Closed] Visiting bus damages gate post then denies culpability.

We had a group of Swiss gardeners to visit yesterday. They arrived on an AAA Coach chartered from Edinburgh.The driveway has one entrance so the bus would have had to make a three point turn between two listed gate posts into the stable yard. During this unseen manoeuvre the bus has clipped an iron hinge leaving white paint on it and dislodging the stones. [img[imghttps://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-UvkH2XbGs3w/U70m4fnTKBI/AAAAAAAAcR0/ERXRsHdvTis/s512/5BUNSET5D.jpg The director of the Swiss group forwarded these photos that I had taken to inform them of the damage and to initiate an insurance claim and he has just forwarded this reply from the company. AAA Coaches 'I have just checked the midi coach and I can’t see any damages on the vehicle at all. So can only assume this was not our vehicle that done this.' They have as yet not sent either an acknowledgement of receipt to the email I sent to nor have I received any other communication. Next step?

Friend also makes recumbents - a long time ago he brought that wooden car along with a wooden bike to the Neatwork weekends in the Borders. The car is absolutely amazing up close 😉

Some people gave an annoying knack of being able to repair anything.
If I tried to lash up a stone gate post using a few old tyres and a trailer I know exactly what the outcome would be - not a good-as-new, much admired stone structure, more likely a pile of rubble and a trip to A&E!
