Why did they close the M1?

Post by spot »

They close motorways for the most trivial reasons these days. A lorry overturns and dumps 23 tons of Marmite on the road surface and the wimpy police insist on stopping traffic. Back in the Middle Ages they'd just have ridden past.

Prithee sirrah, what manner of odure is thatte?

Mind it not, friend, it is but an yeast of unknown origin. Ye rain will shift it eftsoons.

Trivial reasons ??

23.2 tonnes ?

You only want one car to go Into a skid and you have a pile up and people being killed.

Is there something wrong with you that you fail to see that?

I was headed down the M1 on my bike yesterday and can imagine running into it - with luck I'd just have been covered in odure of uncertain odour but it might be sticky on toast but on a slick like that I'd have been toast as I slid through it.
