    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.

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

    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.

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