did a 500mile round trip over christmas between sheffield and winchester.
first challenge, 14 miles of 50mph limit on the m1 between 28 and 25. nobody working on it, not a person in sight, so why not knock the limit off for the holidays?
next bit they messed up,where the a43 joins the m40,it was perfectly ok before then they messed it up sticking a stupid roundabout on the junction which means permanent tailbacks

.
coming back, where the a34 joins the m40! 3 mile tailback so you are forced to do a detour through all the local villages if you want to get anywhere

. then you get stuck on that stupid roundabout where you join the a43 again.
last but not least 4 miles of standing traffic on the m1 through the 50 limit while they rescue one twatting car from the nearside lane. bloody terrible.
anyway,500 miles,28mpg and averaged 43mph. why can't our roads be more like the germans or the french? no roadworks,no cameras and no cops.
