And a fecking massive tailback behind...


I used to be a caravanner until a few years ago.

The only time I had a tailback behind me was when one or two morons
immediately behind me could easily have overtaken - but didn't - making
it progressively more difficult for those behind *them*.

In around 1972, I set out on a bank holiday Friday - well it was
actually saturday morning when we left - from Surrey to Dartmouth
Naval college with 3/4 ton of discothèque lighting gear in my trusty
Bedford CA Mk II van.

AS we joined the A303, there was a queue of what appeared to be 100
miles of cars towing caravans, all heading west.

After ten minutes, I noticed that nothing was heading East. For the next
20 miles I drove *down the RHS of the single carriageway*, pulling over
twice when I saw lights coming from the other direction.

Till I passed the ignorant **** doing 40 mph, that no other caravan
towing car would dare overtake.

IIRC we made dartmouth around 7 a.m and had a nice breakfast in the mess
before going to sleep somewhere.
