So how bad is it driving South on a Friday?

Need to be there at 7.15pm leaving from Manchester.

I know its going to be busy, but is it as horrendous going south as it is coming north on a Friday?

M6/M6 TOLL/M42/M40.

From experience, that's the route I'd take.

Yes thats sounds good.

But is a 2 hour rip (like last Sunday!!!) or a 6 hour slog?

That looks right, but are you collecting someone, flying? or just travelling to lovely Slough? All have a bearing on departures.... (see what I did there smile)

I'd agree with this and would allow myself 3.5 hours.

If they are flying form "Further Afield" check their flight departures, may save you faffing about in Heathrow.

(Apologies if I am stating the obvious)

Coming from Bangkok, so will check before I leave.

Fridays are usually the quietest weekday mornings - you should be fine, unless there is an accident somewhere on route.
