Been over to Liverpool today to see mum. M62 was quietish and the weather was fine. I usually drive at around 80-85, up towards 90 for overtaking, takes about an hour and a half.
Today I decided to rein it back a bit and try to enjoy the journey. So I stuck at around 70-75, occasionally up to 80. The car seemed to love it. Seemed to use a lot less fuel and was much quieter. The journey took about 10 minutes longer and I came home feeling much more relaxed.
Think I'll stick to it.

You go easy on that 4 pot

I travelled down the M5 near Bodmin at a leisurely pace yesterday, at times the traffic flow reached an incredible .............. 25mph.

That's amazing the m5 stops at Exeter 

You mean A30 or A38

I take it that there were a few caravans and campers heading north then

Can you tell, I'm hopeless at geography.    I was coming back from Truro and it was slow moving on the M5 somewhere between somewhere and Taunton. 

I knew I'd seen Bodmin somewhere on my route.

Very wise. Older people such as yourself have poor reactions in case of emergency. I suggest dropping the speed to 50 MPH. That way you won't be a danger to other motorists.....

Thank you for the advice, Opti. 

I do hope your biopsy is not too painful, old chap.

Didn't think a gay-woo went that far or that fast.

An hour and a half to over take?

That narrows it down

Normally a big sign as you get to A30 turn off South that will say something like 'Bodmin 60 miles 65 minutes'

Let me guess you just pump in destination and follow like a sheep until it says you have arrived

Yep. 

Seem to recall that I drove past the Wicker Man very slowly.    If only I knew where the Wicker Man was.

Dont tell him that.....thats even worse on motorways .... pensioners doodling along at 50mph 

Far better for him too zoom along breaking the speed limit.....and having his license removed by a nice mr plod type person

Either way the old boy is likely to be a liability to other road users. Too fast and he'll cause a pile up. Too slow and everyone will get frustrated.
