Thought I'd take the Chim to work today, for a change.

Got to the M4 to find it closed, so nipped down via Tog Hill to the A420 to find a car park.

Headed back to the Westerleigh road to find another car park.

Decided to head home and try again later.

Otter switch on the Chim fails so stop to get the fans running properly.

Road home closed so turn around and go the long way.

Go home to find the door locked and no keys to get in.

Go back to the M4 and get in the queue to Bristol.

Get to the office to find I've left my laptop at home.

2:45 to do a 24 mile journey. Lovely stuff. hehe

Very sad. The car was pretty much flattened from the boot lid to the A-pillar frown

I saw the local news sometime later and realised why you'd had trouble, puts a different perspective on it frown
