Organising a drinking session in a brewery is not as easy as you might think.

because they can !

Seriously though there have been multiple attempts to sort out issues with that section of road over the last few years and each attempt seems to fail. The next big one will be upgrading the A47 between the A1 and Sutton and that will be about 5 years of disruption on both the A1 and A47

HS2 works here have gotten the A38 down to a 40 from Lichfield to Burton, people STILL manage to turn cars over and cause chaos in surtrounding villages with diverted traffic

we were able to ignore slow punctures to a limited extent but these modern pressure sensors can be an absolute pain

Paying a £1 to go across a small bridge in Southampton.

Each bloody way.

I wasn't paying, but it's still a p*** take nonetheless.

The bridge opened 46 years ago and they are still charging. [-(
