Ok, getting held up for an hour between junction 12 and 11 was boring, but I hope the guy in the post office lorry had his seatbelt on and isn't too badly hurt. frown

The long wait serves me right for wondering as I headed towards junction 12 what all the traffic heading the other way into Reading was doing, I should have twigged then that something was amiss. But alas, half asleep, I didn't realise until I got the roundabout and then I couldn't be arsed to head cross country.

Fairly good run after that though smile

Oh bks, Reading obviously, not Rading. Doh!

I got on there at just after 6.30 and got stuck , still lost an hour.

I cant see the guy could have lived through that , but how the hell did he manage to run into the back corner of an artic on the slip road ? poor sod.

Good! I assume he had his seatbelt on then. Lucky he did by the look of it! smile
