Friday 13th is true - flat tyre!
Discussion
No idea what on earth has caused this as on a bog standard public road.
Tyres are ~6 weeks old. Thankfully low speed & was able to stop almost immediately
Couple questions - good to get the opinion of PH community
1. is it fair to say this tyre is not repairable?
2. would it be safe to drive this to the tyre fitter 0.5miles down the road? Tyre holds no pressure. I have gel to put in it; whether it will stay in with a cut like this is another matter.

Tyre is knackered; try the gel; may help to give you at least some pressure hold. Driving it SLOWLY should be fine - the wheel will be protected by the tyre sidewalls for a short time, but if there is any sign that it looks like it will damage the wheel don't risk it; depending on spec they are eye wateringly expensive!!
