It is just getting ridiculous they have retimed the lights coming from the Asfordby road direction to prevent traffic getting through I can't believe it today 4th in queue and it took 3 changes of lights to get through and about 17 minutes all told to get through the town centre and onto the Oakham road

I think it is high time the traffic light capital of leicestershire was bypassed it is getting really choked up with traffic any support for a TDO campaign !!!

I bet round here can beat it, we've got 5 sets of lights within 100 yards of each other all working against each other. It's mayhem when the schools are on.

Haha, You want to try living here. When i was at secondary school here, all the schools were involved in a traffic survey trying to decide the best route for a ring road. Not one person came up with the resultant "inner relief road". FFS who puts a ring road through the centre of the town.

North east leicestershire, it is the rural capital of food. Where they make porkpies, stilton cheese, pedigree chum and whiskas.

Closer than you think.
My sister used to work in the pet nutrician centre. Her job was to get a batch of say pedigree chum from the production line and the first tin would be opened and the contents would be freeze dried. This sample was then analysed by a machine to determine exactly what was in it. The rest of the batch would be fed to a dog over a few days before my sister had to collect a sample of the dog poo and freeze dry this as well. This would then be analysed in the machine to see what was left. The difference between the 2 samples determined what nutrician the dog got from the food.
Boy there are some good jobs out there. :wink:

Ah, one of those £100 to Heathrow places.

Like Exeter.

Sun: 'can we go Exeter, we came for £250, is that ok?' . . . (in a Devonian accent)

I think they had reached the tenth and last taxi on T3 as I left.

:roll:
