You have no idea how many times I’ve found myself in the same situation and got really stressed out… Now we know what to do…
Nice one Mr Eubank 
I should add, for those who aren’t local to Brighton, that Sydney Street is a one way, single lane road lined with shops etc. Between 1030am and 5pm the road is closed to normal traffic such as cars etc. Additionally, Brighton has a privatised parking enforcement agency and they never issue tickets to commercial vehicles loading or unloading whereas they do to private vehicles in the same situation. If you live in Brighton and own a car it’s becoming more and more difficult to get around thanks to the council’s attitude to car-owners. Never mind that the area takes in some large rural towns and villages – they still think you should take the bus. Which is infrequent, dirty and generally driven by the kind of person you would avoid in dark alleys… So, Mr Eubank’s frustration, in my eyes, is totally understandable…
This gives a whole new meaning to “take back the streets”, which in the US is an endeavor for safer streets and neighborhoods.
we have a similar thing over here – called ‘reclaim the streets’. That group will cause major blockages in town centers without much warning – as an action that’s fairly effective in getting a message across even if it doesn’t generate much sympathy!
I wonder,however,if the Lorry Driver would have been as co-operative had Eubank NOT been a championship boxer….
heh – maybe… but I’m a great believer in direct action these days. if you’re gonna block a street off just to make a delivery (when there are options so as to not to do that) then you should kind of expect people to get pissed with you…
