I imagine all of the roads close to this will be chaos on the drive home.

Took me 90 mins to get from Theale to Reading (Cem junction area). It probably would have been quicker on the M4!

What time was that? Did you go through town?

Left at 5.30pm, tried to go south, past the Fox and Hound, took about 30 mins to get to that point, then as soon as I hit town it was gridlocked. Funnily enough once I'd got into town the traffic was fine.

Should have gone on the M4, at least that was flowing at a steady pace!
