So, M5 locals

How many times did you drive past that bag of bones? 

And am I the only one who keeps expecting to find dead bodies in ditches?  Since forever.  I blame local newsagents dumping skin mags when I was a kid: ditches contain damp flesh.  Sorta.

I know I must have driven past them at least a dozen times.

In my family that's always the worry.

"Where have you been? I was worried sick. I thought you were dead in a ditch somewhere."

"Go back in the house and change your clothes. Do you want to end up dead in a ditch?"

"Some drunk asshole tried to kill me on the freeway. I almost ended up dead in a ditch."

I'll have to call my mom and tell her someone's really done it.

Always stories in the news in America of people dead in a ditch. I say always, but not like everyday. It is just frequent enough that sayings like the above of pervasive.

Whenever walking in the woods and seeing black bin bags I'd get a bit of trepidation. I would usually look though. I mean that bag could contain and unsolved murder right?

Usually just dumped skin mags. I alway wondered why only the skin mags were dumped like that. To a teen boy, those locations were porn mines. Where did the knitting mags go?

The knitting mags got passed around the reader's entire extended circle of friends and family before being cut up and laminated for a school project of one of their great-grandchildren thirty years later.

Can't say that about grumble-mags.

Well, some of them got pretty comprehensively laminated...
