Nice one Bob didn't see that one coming!! If only I had time to actually read all the posts when they go up on here I'd have added my tuppence worth!!

I'll tell you something else that pisses me of.

Last night I was driving out of London on the M4 at 11pm expecting to get home via the M25 and M40 and when I get to the M25 sliproad it is coned off. No previous warning, no matrix signs, f**ck all. On top of that, half a mile after I had been made to carry on on the M4 some tosser had decided to use cones to turn a 3 lane motorway into a 1 lane road, all the extra traffic caused by the sliproad closure was backed up for miles and all because, (when we finally passed the reason for the lane closures), someone somewhere had decided that a lamp-post needed painting at the very time there was double the usual traffic.

2 1/2 bloody hours it took me to get from Kew Gardens to Penn, which is all of 15 miles.


If this thread turns into a Grumpy Old Men thread then good, cos a good whinge never did anyone any harm.

[Andy Zarse]

Good. Serves you right for being a grumpy f*cker.

I can never understand all this road rage, if the lamp wasn't working you'd be moaning about you road fund license money not being spent on road maintenance.  As they were; you're upset there was a slight delay, I always leave in plenty of time and make sure that the speed limit isn't exceeded, no point getting into a lather about it.

If you want something to moan about did you see the programme about DWP fraud last night!  7 million GBP a day is paid in fraudulent claims A DAY and they are the ones they know about!!  sounds like the bloody home office.

Hey! An M4 rant thread!

A few months ago there was a closure of the elevated section, right to J3 IIRC, for scheduled works. The agency that runs the M4 works did everything right, and traffic was diverted onto the A4.

However, there was a closure of the part of the A4 which runs parallel to the M4, due to scheduled works. The agency which runs the A4 works did everything exactly right.

It turns out that they are different agencies, and didn't talk to one another about their plans...... people were many many hours in their cars that night...

[Disgusted of Houx]

And another thing talking of the M4. traveling into London yesterday evening I only saw 1 bus in the bus lane while the other 2 lanes wre chocker with nose to tale slow moving traffic.
 What's all that about?
 who's stupid idea was that?

GGGGHHRRRRR It makes me so angry

Dartford f**k*ng toll bridge, why when we are supposed to be cutting polloution and trying to save petrol do the Gov create a traffic jam just so they can charge you one flipping pound for a bridge that was supposed to be free once it was paid for via the toll?

The times I have queued from past the A127 just to toss a coin are beyond measure.

The peoples republic of Camden and their total hatred of cars gridlocked 100% of the time 24/7 due to road improvements.

A bit late on this one but...
People used to bring cars to the Indy 500 or USGP at the Glen specifically for BURNING!
Hey! No bitching about the state of the roads in the UK until you've been over here to see the disasters we call Interstates, most of which look like they've been used for carpet bombing pratice by B-52's.
