As you can see from another thread I was in an accident last night and this morning Chris and I went through the obligatory 'what if....?' conversation. It does make you wonder though about the whole sliding doors concept.

For instance 'what if I'd have not forgotten my camera when we were leaving the do?' I wouldn't have had to go back into the room, we would have been two minutes earlier on our trip - would we have missed the white car completely or would we have been closer to the junction and got the full impact head on? 'What if I'd have taken the time to say goodbye to a couple more people that I forgot to say good bye to as we were leaving'. We'd have been a couple of minutes later - would we have missed the white car or would we have met up with it further down the road at another junction? 'What if we'd have stopped up the road for some chips (as Chris was considering) would we have missed the white car or would the lunatic have knocked us down whilst we were crossing the road?

I guess what I'm saying is that there were many, many variables in our journey home last night (especially as it was a drive from Todmorden) but what if.....?
