A blundering lorry driver is alleged to have damaged a 300-year-old house after getting his vehicle wedged in a narrow lane.
Locals in Bruton, Somerset, were steaming after the John Lewis delivery driver blocked St Catherines Hill.
They alleged he ignored signs handmade by residents to stop their town grinding to a halt when something like this happens.
James Hood, a local town councillor said: "The lorry has taken a corner off one of the nearby buildings and brought a lot of rubble down with it too.
"There are plans between the town and county council to put bollards in the road to deter HGV drivers.

Bruton is no stranger to such incidents.
Last October a lorry driver, following a directions from his satellite navigation system, caused the 24-hour closure of Bruton high street after his vehicle became wedged in a narrow street.
After several attempts to release the lorry it was eventually freed, damaging a 300-year-old house in the process.
