M56 Mess
« on: August 17, 2005, 19:32:32 »
Was anybody else caught up M56 mess this afternoon?
 Took me 2 hours to do a five min journey this afternoon, I needed to come off at J12 Chester services as I live in Elton, 2 min down the road. Was only going one junction from, J14, there’s no J13 on the 56 for some reason. Had to go through all the villages like everyone else.
 Apparently it was a car bomb either at the services or on the motorway

Oh yes

One of the huge advantages of a TJ over most 4'bs is when Ikea is mentioned the stock answer yes dear but what you want won't fit in the back
