This Londoner won’t be able to drive to work today (Fri) – because their car was trapped in a block of ICE.
The frozen motor was left unidentifiable after being turned into a block of ice by a burst water pipe.
Workers were scrambled this morning to repair the pipe, but the car, in Tower Hamlets, east London, is unlikely to get thawed for a few days.
Tower Hamlets Police offered their “deepest sympathy” to the driver on Twitter.
Traffic wardens will struggle to ticket the car, which has been stuck for two days.
Twitter user @baoigheallain said: “The lengths some owners will go to to prevent a parking officer sticking a ticket to their windscreens.”
Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
