Apologies, that wasn't factual, it was a suggestion as to why we haven't had a response yet.

I contacted the supermarket's customer services department. They asked how much the repair would be. I told them (a few hundred).

How much damage did you do to the supermarket's flagpole that it's going to cost you a few hundred pounds to repair it?

(You are, of course, going to pay for the item that you damaged, aren't you?)

About 40 years ago I parked next to a very low post, went to work for the day, came back and completely forgot about it, turned to sharply and the post went through my passanger door of my nice shiny black granada.

Guess whos fault it was

I did swear a lot,.probably cried a bit....but I didnt try and blame anyone else, what is wrong with the world today

Some years ago, on one occasion that I forward-parked in a car park, when I returned, there was no car opposite. What a result I thought, I can drive straight out through the other space.

I had forgotten that immediately in front of my car when I parked it was a small concrete post (no flag), at most 18 inches high. At the time I counted myself fortunate it was tall enough that the bottom of the bonnet took the impact - the towing eye in fact - rather than rip parts off the underneath of the car.

Two years later mind I was less impressed when the car conked out in a flood. Trying to connect a rope in the dark and rain to a towing eye that was not just underwater but squashed up from the prior impact is neither fun nor, as it turned out, possible.

Anyhoo, umm, advice? Get a second hand bumper from a scrappy to be fitted by your local mechanic, don't trouble your insurance or go to a bodyshop unless you have some sort of supercar. And don't drive in floodwater
