I wish I'd brought the Tiv to work today. With Sandy at the gig and off the road, I might have a fecking chance at a spotted.

Glastonbury Festival has been turfing out all day. A37 to Bristol has been gridlocked all day and its all had to find its way through Bristol too.What with that lot and Bon Jovi it a recipe for disaster..

That would explain a lot then. Just took me an hour and a half to get from Whiteladies Road to Temple Meads and back, normally half an hour round trip. At one point I just switched off my engine for 5 minutes and contemplated going for a stroll.

Avoid at all costs!

Oh, and for some reason LOTS of emergency vehicles in a hurry too.

No other country in the world would consider Bristol's traffic system even remotely acceptable.

Let's hope the rehab worked, or the chaos will have been for nothing!

Get a bike, no worry's with traffic then. And you can use the bus lanes. The only reason why I tolerate bloody bus lanes when i'm on the bike
