What happens if all the roads to the North are blocked and the securicor vans taking the tax subsidies, the mobile soup kitchens, and the extra Polish security police can't get through?

And here I thought it was acetylene gas that was mixed with oxygen gas at the point of ignition rather than just combining it all in one big cylinder.

Anyway can't have been much of a if crashing it at 70mph didn't set it off. Just roll the things over to the hard shoulder and let the traffic through. Bloody Health and Safety wimps.

I think there must have been a fire as a report I saw said the firebrigade were worried about exploding gas cylinders and it may take 24 hours for them to cool enough to be safe to handle.

I guess they didn't factor in the cooler temperatures as you head further north, hence it only took 3 or so hours.

dieing during takeoff is not a pleasant experience.

Dying

Commie English not what it aspires to be? Unless you happen to work in engineering. Squirrel bothering doesn't count, all nuts and no bolts.


If I'm going to go in a plane crash I'd much prefer a swift one on take-off or landing than dropping from 30,000 feet knowing full well that's your last minute or so on Earth. Talk about a brown-trouser moment. More like a plane full of brown-stuff moment.

Olympics should be sold to France. They would do a better job.

the budget would need to go up by £3.4 billion

Dammit. I was all set for taking the burger van down and making a killing from all the mugs gridlocked on the surrounding A roads.

24 hours closure ended up being 3.5 hours.

The blockage at junction 19 was cleared at 20:00, I blasted through at 20:25 - didn't notice a thing

will us "northerners" have to pay extra for council tax for the Olympics

Actually, I thing this country should *pay* the French to host the Olympics.

It would still be cheaper for us
