Is it the same where you're based? Traffic seems to be getting worse...

Yep. Jack the price of fuel up to 1.20 a litre again. That shifted a lot of cars off the road!

Most of them are driving over to jeopardy,
apparently there are loads of jobs in jeopardy

Fine on the pavement

Cycled to work again, Pedestrians -2, Cars -3 beeps, Vetran +22.

Much more fun and you can be so cutting about people driving Gas Guzzlers.

Maybe its the brandy, but that was rather amusing

Driving down the m40 on the way to Bracknell is a nightmare.

Could be. That's what I did in the early 90s.

Correction: The first half of the 90s.

I do remember looking forward to Budget Day at that time, as that never failed to bring me work on a payroll package darn sarf. The last time I did that I was positively shocked by the lack of traffic, and the guy I was working for on that payroll package commented that the motorway police used the reduction in traffic to clamp down on the top speed you could do before getting nicked.
