Traffic, what traffic.....

[AndyM31]

Reading the days news I stumbled on this article about a traffic jam that has been going on for 9 days and counting. So I once thought the M25 was bad, I think i reconsider again :-))

That is fabulous!

God, I thought getting stuck for 2 hours on the A303 the other week while everyone slowed down to 0.1 mph to look at Stonehenge was bad! That's a truly epic traffic jam - imagine phoning your boss to say that you were going to be in a bit late...

It says "drivers sit it out in 9 day traffic jam". Think they have missed an "h" out somewhere.

It's like something from 'The Day Today'!

"Traffic jam enters ninth day. Commuters start eating each other."

I thought that traffic through France and Spain was bad when August holidays began, that is nothing to this one. The fact that they do not seem in a rush to clear it is just plain wrong.

Moral of the story mobile, wallet, loose change, and mobile phone charger - all check; we can go out now!

Yeah because after 9 days of no food or water it'd be a real ball ache if your phone ran out.

Ah but you can buy that, for a price, it seems

This is crazy, my commute is a breeze in comparison and I'll remember this news story everytime I get stuck for an hour or two... I'd love some noodles after reading that

hang on hang on.. have the same drivers been stuck on a road for 9 days? Or is it just that the traffic-jam itself has been there for 9-days; continually being replenished with new cars?

I cant see myself being particularly 'calm' after 9 days as mentioned in the article.
