So much for the horrendous traffic
« on: 23 December 2010, 18:38:16 »
Went to Liverpool today to see mum before Christmas. Left Wakefield at 10:30 and was at mums for 12:00. Left mum's at 15:30 (so as to avoid the threat of armageddon) and was back home, via Macdonalds, by 17:10. 170 mile round trip, not a hold-up either way. Scaremongering barstewards.

I park in Agbrigg Road every day now Pat, to pick up my lad from St Thomas a Becket. I wouldn't be so critical of Liverpool if I lived there mate, some very shady looking characters. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Merry Christmas. ;)

Roads have been quiet this week. Basingstoke run was quicker than usual around the Watford/ Hemel area roadworks of the M25. Methinks they are covering there backs regarding traffic reports.
   I could never manage a Maccies after a visit to the parentage. Not only does she overfeed me but sends me home with a packed lunch for the journey...i'm 47!!!!! ::)

The roads were very quiet today..... Just wish me luck as I'm heading back home midday tomorrow which involves the m25.

As store takings are apparently down 40% lets see if some half decent offers are on in Jan  :y

The M25 last Friday was horrific. Took 3 hours to get from the M4 to the M11, and anti clockwise wasnt moving at all.
Maybe a lot of people got out early. :-/

News channels were reporting today that it was going to be the busiest shopping day ever - but what do they know.  ::)

M3 was flowing at a decent speed when I left work about 6.30pm tonight, much better than a regular day in fact.. Sainsbury wasn't even busy when I got there, which was nice.
