My vote goes to the asshats who caused the M4 westbound past Reading services to slow to a crawl last night because they had to slow down and gawp at some travelling folk who'd started setting up camp on a bit of land just past the exit from the services.

Some caravans, some people, some cars, some gas bottles. It's just SO fascinating.

Get your eyes back on the road, morons.

I was once sat at 5 mph for about 2 hours going down the M5 because someone had put about 40 industrial dustbins in a field, that were painted to look like cows.

People were crawling by to look at cow bins in a field.

I was fking fuming.

I agree - it must have been really frustrating for him having all those cars not getting out of the whey.
