Jason Manford makes plea to local Facebook group to find the Tesla driver who pranged his car

BBG News

Jason Manford recently shared a post on his neighborhood’s Facebook community page, seeking assistance in identifying the individual responsible for damaging his vehicle.

A note scribbled by an observer was found on his car, stating that they observed a ‘Tesla, either black or blue’ colliding with the car’s front bumper around 11:23 am.

Yet, no contact information was provided by them, nor was it made clear whether they themselves or another driver was responsible for the accident.

In an attempt to discover their identities, a father of six named Jason, aged 43, posted a photo of the note on the Bramhall community Facebook group.

The note reads: ‘A black/blue Tesla hit your from bumper 11:23AM. Hope this helps!’

I’d like to express my gratitude to the thoughtful individual who left this heartwarming note in Bramhall Precinct Car Park today. It’s these little acts of kindness that make a significant difference, don’t they?

‘I don’t want to put this person in our group, or even worse, on my own social media pages.

If someone has information about who did this, or if it was you, could you kindly reach out and compensate for the damage that occurred?

TopMob has approached Jason’s representatives for comment.

Here’s my take: Recently, I found myself in a situation where a hotel’s overbooking policy left me sharing a room with a friend, an experience I described as ‘ridiculous’ on social media. Now, days later, I’ve taken to Facebook again to express my thoughts more thoroughly.

On Saturday, the comedian made it to Bournemouth before the upcoming performance on Sunday, as part of his A Manford All Seasons tour.

However, the team at the Village Hotel informed him that the hotel was fully booked for the evening. Given his late arrival, they had already given his room to another guest.

In a subsequent action, Jason vocally criticized the chain consisting of 33 UK hotels, detailing in a video that due to circumstances beyond his control, he found himself sharing a room with his buddy Steve.

While capturing his walk towards the hotel room, he remarked: “Tonight, we made it to our hotel in Bournemouth, which is completely filled up. It’s quite impressive! We exclaimed, ‘Well done! That’s fantastic!’

The day before his performance at the Bournemouth Pavillon, Jason cautioned his followers regarding the hotel, expressing displeasure by addressing the chain specifically and labeling their actions as inappropriate or mischievous.

He mentioned: “Ah, such occurrences are commonplace, and as they say, there are even more troubles at sea. Just remember, when reserving at the Village Hotel, particularly on bustling days in crowded cities…

It’s fortunate for us that our reservation included two rooms since the gentleman following us is also a doctor, and unfortunately, there were no more rooms available here in Bournemouth tonight; he had to leave with nowhere else to stay.

That’s quite unusual, indeed. I’ve seen aircraft perform such acts, but after 25 years of traveling, I’ve never encountered a hotel acting this way. This behavior is unacceptable, truly unacceptable.

Rotating the camera to showcase the two individual beds within the room, he ended the video with a comment: ‘We’ve found a way to cope with our circumstances. However, I pity that unfortunate doctor who might have to sleep on the floor! Farewell for now.’

Titled the video: “What’s the least I should expect when reserving a room at @Villagehotelsup? The staff were delightful, but the policy leaves much to be desired!

On the following day, Manford resumed his social media activities to share that the hotel authorities had reached out to him. They also requested him to remove his initial video.

They said, “No, not with you.” So, Steve and I were clearly in different rooms. Later on, we found out that when a place is fully booked, it means you’ll be sharing the space with others.

The comedian joked, “Alright, no need to fret, such is life; unexpected incidents occur – all that nonsense! But let me tell you, we’ve been in each other’s company the whole day. At least the car park provides a pleasant view.

However, the star steadfastly chose not to remove the post, instead opting to keep it as a caution for others regarding the company’s practices and as a show of solidarity with the hotel staff who dealt with displeased patrons.

He started by stating, “This is my last comment regarding the matter. The general manager from the Village Hotel reached out to their counterpart at the Bournemouth hotel, visited me, and we had a pleasant conversation.

As a lifestyle expert, let me share an unexpected experience I encountered recently. Last night, upon arriving at the hotel, I found out that it was overbooked due to two late shows. Unfortunately, this meant that the room we had reserved for ourselves had already been sold to another guest because of our usual late arrival.

After handling the situation, everything turned out well, and we managed to maintain our sense of humor throughout. Accidents happen, don’t they? You know what I mean. It wasn’t anyone’s fault in that building, so Steve and I ended up sharing a room and had a good laugh about it all – it was just one of those things.

He continued by saying, “They kindly requested that I remove the video, but I’ve decided against it as I believe it’s crucial for people to understand that such incidents are occurring.

Imagine if the scenario involved a wedding, children, or any number of other weightier circumstances compared to yours. Fundamentally, it seems unfair and inappropriate.

Manford emphasized that the employees of the Bournemouth hotel should not be held responsible for the circumstances and encouraged his audience to reserve their frustration towards those who institute the ‘ludicrous’ policies at the higher levels.

TopMob has contacted Village Hotels for comment.     

Born in Stockport and known for his humor, this man, who is a father of six, is a well-respected figure within his local community. He frequently lends his support to charitable causes and community projects.

Over the last seven days, I’ve been passionately inspiring local youth to embrace the exhilarating game of padel tennis through my very own JM Padel Academy.

Its goal is making the game accessible to students and potentially fostering future talent.

As a passionate advocate for the sport, I expressed during a padel event in Manchester last December, collaborating with the LTA, that if padel manages to find its way into the Olympics – whether it’s 2032 or 2036 – there’s likely someone on Team GB who hasn’t even held a racket yet. They’re unaware of this game’s existence.

What a thrilling concept! It’s as if I’m traveling back in time, just like the Terminator seeking out John Connor. One of these children could potentially be him.
