getting off the boobs for a short while ...
where / how long are the longest STRAIGHT sections of UK roads - Motorway, trunk road d/c, a-road, b-road?
Just noticed on the satnav yesterday that none of the roads I drove on (in a 240 mile journey) had a very straight run ahead of them on the isometric map display.

You might need a more up-to-date map if you want to find Little Chefs and stuff.

Looks quite straight for 15 miles, the A1198 also has claims suggesting that it is the longest straight stretch of road at ~19 miles.Curiously, all I can find on straight motorways is around 3.5 miles of the A1M at Newton Aycliffe - seems quite short, really.
I recall my dad telling me about driving a road in Australia, where some of the drivers would tie their wheels to the door handle and read a book or knit, as it was so straight. I'm unlikely to be able to do that in the UK, I think.
