Safe journey home entwisi ..... and you guys take care on those coach trips tonight :)

Re: Traffic nightmare

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

Good luck.:)

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

Are we taking bets on how long its took entwisi to get home?:D

I'll say 3hrs 30 mins!!!!

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

Just got a text message from my neighbour who is in Manchester. She wants to know what the traffic is like here - shes stuck in the middle of manchester and its took her 2hrs to travel one mile.

Hope everyone is ok

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

well left uni to get train home today all train where canceled just lucky that i could catch a lift home but it did take over an hour as all of the centre of preston was closed at around 3pm :(:(

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

heh, I really don't know what happened there. I must have been a very good boy.

Through an extensive knowledge of country roads, a lot of forward planning and some extremely good luck it took me 1 hour 30 mins!!!

it was a very tortuous route I took but I seemed to be able to avoid the really bad bits. I think getting out an hour early made a massive difference though. I hate to think what time I'd got home if it had full on rush hour.

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

glad your back safely anyway :D

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

Luckily for me I work on the right side of Preston to avoid those delays today :)

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

You soo modest Entwisi.

What, you finish at 4 p.m. ... blooming part timers.. :D

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

shall I give you a call when I'm setting off at 6am then Katex? :D

Re: Traffic nightmare
 

Yes, please .. that's when me alarm goes off .. although takes me longer to get out of bed .. Mind ya' it's gotta be good old sweet talk though .. no traffic reports...:D

How long it take you then, Junction 21, is it ? about 40 mins normally ?

Tell you what .. think now having just to go from Clayton to Ossie, (during school terms ..grrr) can take me longer than that and every week having to set off earlier .. takes me 8 mins in hols; average 35 mins. during term time.
Summat gotta be done :mad:
