What is hacking you off today?

Problem is you can’t guarantee a break-down will happen anywhere near a yellow zone so there’s total reliance that someone is actually awake at Mission Control and noticed the inside lane needs to be red-crossed immediately - which is never going to happen - by which time your vehicle will likely already have been crushed. Far from Smart more like Witless. Cost almost £900m with several years of roadworks / holdups for the Smart section to Theale on M4, not improved the road one bit.

Remove the human intervention and replace with AI to detect when a vehicle has stopped and it would be instant.

Have more gangtries showing the open / closed lanes etc and ensure that if you go through a gangtry clearly showing as closed then you get fined heavily. Ho through 2 gantries and its points on your license.

For me personally if I can't get my car to one of those emergency sidings I'd ditch the car as close yo thd barrier as possible, exit through the passenger side, jump the barrier and head backwards towards the oncoming traffic. Anyone hits your unmanned vehicle no guarantee what direction it will go in.

I think you mean gantries?

Here's a top tip. Don't put a bet on the Grand National while several sheets to the wind. It will save the disappointment when you think you have won only to discover you actually backed an old nag that fell flat on its face very early on.

Asbo motorcycles - you can hear them 3 streets away. Often around 1 or 2 in the morning.

What the hell is going on, they seem to be everywhere. Surely they can be legal, worse than the cars with their crackle maps

Back of house is boarded up due to building work.

Thought one of the dogs was barking at something last night but it had actually and been on an adventure - returning home to wake us up at 3am.

Here in Perth, it's the other way around. It's still so warm here over 30 degrees for the past week and the next few days. We've had virtually no rain for the past six months. It normally cools down to the low 20's and we start to get some rain.

Did the aches and pains spoil the trip mate?

We have a conifer in our garden which was our Xmas tree for many years. We planted it out when neither of us had grey hair, but now it is diseased beyond fixing even though we having been trimming branches off. The Tree doctors are coming today

Acupuncture & applying hot pads daily have helped a lot, but Tuesday it played up more than recent. Possibly down to the wet & cold weather all day?.
I was concerned about the 4 1/2hr drive, but sitting on a hot water bottle (!) gave me no problems at all, thank goodness.
Thanks for asking.

FA Cup Replays scrapped. This news has hacked me off today

Yet another careless motorist has crashed into Ron Martin's wall on the corner of Benfleet Road.

When will the bloke catch a break?
