My phone satnav started speaking in Spanish for some reason on the way down to Poole last summer, just as it had suggested a diversion to avoid an accident.Had to stick to the queues in the main route afterall , which the Tom Tom was sticking to, as my limited spanish of being able to order the beers and ask for the loos wasn't much use drivng off into the unknown country lanes.The main problem was the fräulein in the Satnav who threw a total wobbler.
All you need in Spain though.My phone satnav started speaking in Spanish for some reason on the way down to Poole last summer, just as it had suggested a diversion to avoid an accident.Had to stick to the queues in the main route afterall , which the Tom Tom was sticking to, as my limited spanish of being able to order the beers and ask for the loos wasn't much use drivng off into the unknown country lanes.
Your face or mineSpeak to it in Spanish like I do.
Shutta uppa.
Seriously? I tried to get into the Crossings at 2pm when the transporter arrived and when we came back later in the afternoon I did say to the wife "they can be moving that off site" as it was loaded up at the gate.... CrazinessWell, that was a great idea - moving an oversized fabrication up Weston Road and Beaconside, at the peak of the 'rush' hour, in the dark, trying to miss all the kerbside street furniture and the (stationary) oncoming traffic...
It was absurd. Ambulances stuck in it - utter chaos.Seriously? I tried to get into the Crossings at 2pm when the transporter arrived and when we came back later in the afternoon I did say to the wife "they can be moving that off site" as it was loaded up at the gate.... Craziness
I know it's not much consolation, but I dropped the missus off at the Station this morning at 10:00 and called in at Argos on the way back to Baswich, and everything was fine - an unexpectedly quick journey. And Queens wasn't too bad about 45 minutes ago (16:00). A bit of a queue to come out, but nothing more than you'd expect.Bloody ridiculous traffic on the road past the B&Q / Argos retail park. Heard about 45 minute queues to get off the car park last week , but thought that might have been an exaggeration........ turned into it today to find queues tailing all around the carpark and every row to get back out. Too late then....no way back out without queuing for absolutely ages . Not going shopping there in the car again!
I planned to pop to Aldi to pick up some supplies am hour ago but turned around on the crossings roundabout and walked up to home Bargains. I think that's the third Saturday on the trot the traffic has clogged up.... But no worries as staffs council traffic doesnt think there's any problem in the area!!Bloody ridiculous traffic on the road past the B&Q / Argos retail park.
