Sitting in traffic

  1. Took the teen for a exam Friday morning 7.15 am ,went to the bit city ,waiting to go onto a mini roundabout ,must have been 20 cars in front of me ,I thought ,this is the first time I have been caught in traffic for five years....

    France should really do thinking about it`s congestion...:gnome:

    Just hope there is no more early exams wasted at least 5 minutes of my life stuck there...:(:rolleyes::D

    I know the feeling, the traffic in our village is horrendous. :mad:
    I had a car in front of me as I waited to turn onto the main road, of course it'll be worse when the winter people arrive in a couple of months. :(

    :) when I first came back from Spain I was late all the time as I was judging time on distance and not on amount of traffic!
    We used to drive an hour and fifteen on the toll mway from Los gallardos to Murcia with only seeing about 20 other vehicles!

    Now I utilise my traffic jam time and make all my phone calls :)

  15. Came back to deepest, darkest Norfolk for a couple of days last week and was stunned at how long it took to get anywhere because there was so much traffic compared with Jeju-in Norfolk!
