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

Yep , its always fookin slow. We have a 2+ lane and people take the piss ! , they sit in the normal lane as far as they can go then, stop in the middle of the road to try to get in and block up the lane and you cannot get past !!!

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.
