Used to be able to save time by taking the A6 from Carnforth north, but there are 5 speed cameras on the section relevant to me, and each one in a different limit.

In Bristol I think, I haven't seen traffic like that since the really few days of hot weather we had in the summer school holidays.

I was stuck for ~45 minutes in Bristol (from the bottom of M32 to College Green) on Wednesday night! My own fault - I don't usually drive into town for 6pm, should have known better!

Ahh Bristol traffic, great innit

I took to taking apart my air conditioning system in rush hour queue to try and get it working...

I know what shall we do, keep building massive housing estates and offices, cut public transport and stick in more traffic lights, junctions etc and not add any more roads.

Blumming great policy our council has. I think Bristol has to have the worst public transport in the western hemisphere.

Hell yeah, put my gear stick out of action for a bit. But, why would I need that anyway??
