That'd be a different M1 from the one that doesn't go to Birmingham, then?
;-)

It has puzzled me for years that the M1 was described in early days as the
London to Birmingham motorway. Perhaps it's really the M6 and the M1 leaves
it at Rugby.


I always thought that the M1 was sort of going towards Newcastle (old
A1) and sort of going towards Birmingham and they didn't want to pay for
two motorways. So it ended up going to Leeds.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
