Feel for ya Mike, that road does suck!! Thankfully me mum is back at York Hospital now so I don't have to go down it at least twice a day
I hate Thursdays, I work in Newcastle and have to go on the A1 there and back! Leave at half 5, sit in traffic around York for 45 mins then get there for about 8 Way home is better though, just over an hour for the same distance at 1 in the morning

48 miles each way into the centre of Birmingham everyday ! This must be the worst drive in the world, the M42 is usually at standstill, the expressway is no better, it takes 1 and a halve hours each way of solid traffic.

She's getting there cheers Mike, hopefully she should be home this week
Then in about 2 months she'll be back in Hull for another MRI scan to check on the progress.

Gary and I enjoy a Saturday Morning Jaunt to work with me in the Beantin and him in the Evo. We have a private access road on our way to work where I generally see my speedo venturing into the void area in the bottom right hand corner.

Good fun though.
