Exactly.

I bet the same people voted for Brexit and don't realise they are the
cause of the queues themselves. ;-)

Cheers, T i m


What I would like to see are signs saying:
"Carriageways merge in 400 yards - Merge now"
followed by
"Carriageways merge in 200 yards - Merge NOW"
followed by
"Carriageways merge in 100 yards - If YOU haven't merged by now,
you're NICKED!"


The original Suicide Hill on The Alaska Highway had signs on the
high-side approach, of the form:

"Change to Low Gear ahead"

"Change to Low Gear Now"

"If you are not in Low gear NOW, prepare to meet thy Maker".

I knew someone, an ex-Brit, who drove trucks along the route after the
war.
