    Is that the 'new' bit of the M60 - the part that they waited forever to build and then when they did they cocked it up - so when it rains the spray fails to clear etc.
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

          I think they had to redo a stretch of the M25 between junctions 12 and 14, round the M3 bit, a few years ago because some monkey of a contractor used substandard tar or something.
          One bit of the M3 they've got a concrete road surface for some strange reason

            There are several concrete stretches about the place, such as on the M25 round Dorking or thereabouts.

            I assumed all motorways not started recently were once concrete, and those are just the remnants that haven't been replaced.

              I find it hard to imagine there were any Contractors in the Stalin era.
