Slough is exceptionally bollardsed currently, nothing to do with flooding in Datchet etc.
M4 everyone's doing 50mph with their head up their wasname.


WWAAAAKE UUUUUUP!

Try Farnborough right now. Some breakwit decided to place roadworks with a crap 4 way traffic light system which is not as biased towards the main thoroughfare as it should be.  End result? 30 minutes to travel what normally takes 3.

Tell me about it, the world and it's mother seems to be doing 23mph.....and that's no good for the likes of me with AADD 

30 minutes to travel what normally takes 3.

Still 1½ minutes on the Z1

It's fair to say that I hemorrhaged a few times today, being held up by dawdlers. I had evil visions of ramming them, is that normal?

2hrs to get in yesterday.

Normally I struggle to get above 40mph

Yes very! In fact its on my bucket list.

 One day.....  But preferably not with an Irmscher bumper on the front.

Seems to be acceptable behaviour in some places... encouraged even, looking at the video in Car Chat

That sort of thing must get your sphincter twitching over your battery life?!

My commute home tonite with a  full moon  & bone dry for once.
Average speed for my journey is 18 mph.

Defies belief really. Quite incredible.

Fortunately I have a back route into Farnborough station but then get caught up in the nonsense you describe for a few minutes as the station area is blocked. I think the problem is caused by the Council now taking "out" the bus lanes they put in not so long ago which have been a total failure with buses using them on rarer occasions than you see rocking horse shit. No one will be sacked for this

Fixed...

Actually that's not exactly fair... there are very few experienced people left... alot of council bean counters are recent graduates with limited life experience. Great for Councils, crap for the rest of us for a single reason... they are numbers driven... if it saves a quid on the face of it then that is all that matters, regardless of the cost of the implications

Patching potholes being a case in point... a pound spent on fixing a 1m² pothole four times a month is £48 every year. The price of laying 1m² of road is £9 (2011- Somerset Council).

Assuming it lasts 2 years, that's £18 life cost for a piece of well made road, as opposed to £96 for the same area of pothole. As TB would say, even the stupid kid from the local comprehensive can work that out but all the beancounters see is a £1 pothole repair, so mentally they have saved £8...

It would if I wasted energy spinning a crankshaft while stationary. But I don't. ..so more worried about missing a video conference
