Heathrow in the morning.
« on: 30 September 2010, 19:53:37 »

Got to drive to Heathrow in the morning to pick my son up,now he's been away for 4 weeks on holiday in South Africa,30c and he's arriving home to some really good old British weather gale force winds and heavy rain. What more could a man ask for?.

Well I finally made it, 5 hours of sheer hell. Heavy rain = Heavy spray + the police closed the M4 between J15 and 14 for some reason,Police incident!.
The division that the police advised ,was a nightmare,we were moving  mere yards at a time,and we were the ones that were actually moving,those who were stuck on the motorway when the police shut it,were the the  ones that were  stuffed,from 7.30 to13.30 they were left to fend for themselves.
We were lucky that the motorway was reopened by the time that we had to return, same shitty weather thro.

Motorway was closed 13-15 from 08:00 - 12:00.

Some bloke was arrested under the Mental Health Act after strolling along the carriageway, apparently.

And other news about the M4.  That bloody Bus Lane is going to be scrapped, finally.  Christmas time to Olympics it is 'suspended', then Cameron tells us he will kill it for good.

God Bless the Tories.
