On leaving my house this morning at the regular time of 8.25am, i found myself in the middle of a traffic jam along the only road out of my 'Godforsaken one-horse town'. Bumper to bumper. At a standstill. People coming from that direction were shouting at us from their car windows "Turn Back if you can, you'll never get there" and "ITS HELL BACK THERE,YOU DON'T WANT TO GO..", it was like being on set of 'War of The Worlds' everyone desperate to be gone from that place. quite amusing actually but bizarre for sure.
Anyway, cutting a long story short; what usually takes me 30 mins to drive on automatic pilot took me 2hrs! The cause of this congestion wasn't some horrendous accident in which firemen where skillfully cutting away metal to free the injured and the dead. It was a shitty little traffic light they'd decided to plonk on top of a bridge to service a gas pipe..WANKERS.
