What I want to know is how could Brian tell that dere Adam was unconscious?

Adam wasn’t griping, whinging or complaining, that’s how.

Nothing curable, I hope?

Don’t get your hopes up: Lynda, remember.
All that happened is that a Landy trod on him* a bit so he’ll be fine come Thursday.
*he probably provoked it

He didn’t put on the handbrake, got out of the machine presumably on a slope or it would have stayed where it was (which is what Landies do really well), and then when it started to move off without him put his foot and leg under one of the wheels trying to get back in to reach the brake.
Sheer stupidity.

At least it’s consistent characterisation.

Was the Landrover’s engine running and was it in gear?
If you put the hand brake on a Landrover that is running and in gear you get lots of little bits of landrover given the way aLandrover’s brake works by grabbing the drive shaft
A colleague found this out the hard way
75k brand new Land Rover was reduced to ever so many bits on the Falls road

There was no engine noise. But if Adam had totaled the Landie I doubt it would have run him over.

What would be an acceptable gift/bribe for a Landrover, supposing, just hypothetically, one wanted to thank and encourage it?
asking for a friend, obvs

In true Ambridge tradition of ‘pampering’, how about a nice mud bath at the spa?

Not the only car to suffer such a fate, alas, but the method was certainly original…

It was brand new and fitted with all the gizmos and the armour plating that poliss vehicles had
So a really really stoopid thing to do
My how we laughed when we had to use a 20 year old thing in place of the Landy - a Shoreland made by Shorts I think
Armour plating makes it heavy to steer - no power steering meant that I had to get a colleague to help turn the thing

I’m sure you had lots of cheerful onlookers willing to lend a hand.
