I spent close to 2hrs (instead of the usual 20mins) setting in my car as it crawled up not more than a 3mile stretch due to heavy traffic today.
Nuts.
And will it change an atom weight of the current policies..? I have little faith if you ask me.
What are your thoughts?

I'm backing the strikers 100% but I doubt 1 day will make little difference.

I understand that Environmental Health Inspectors will stop.
So, no meat inspection = no meat out of abbatoirs = gridlock of a different kind.
Should do wonders for the restaurant business too.....

It was much busier than usual..the M602 was already backing up from the M62 (I don't know if there was an accident or whether it was due to the Mersey Tunnel being closed)...either way....YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME!!! 😉

They were also the days before single-parenthood was made a career option for women at the lower end of the social spectrum.
When the trains ran on time.
When people knew their place.
When the only black faces is merry old england were cheery, non-union, miners.
When the sun never set on the british empire, and britain brought 'civilisation' to the rest of the world, whether they wanted it or not.
Are you some sort of time-traveller or something who has got off at the wrong stop?
Did you mean to arrive in the 1930s?
Originally posted by RedmikeI should think that pre-1914 was a good time to live in England but I cannot claim first-hand experience to back this up. The 1950s and early 60s (roughly 12-0 BW, before Wilson) were quite good.

Presumably you are quite happy to pay women to produce any number of bastards from casual aquaintances; have immigrants rampaging and committing violent crimes; and have millions living on 'benefits' instead of working. I am not.
