    London to Manchester, setting off at friday 3 pm, arrived at midnight!

    What a mug - I'd have arrived at the same time if I'd left at 8pm

    Wigan to Leeds: Best time 55 minutes; worse time 4 hours. Often over 2 hours.

    That Chris Rea obviously hadn't been on the M62 when he penned his classic Road to Hell about the M25...
    Saltaire to Shaw - Best time 45 mins, worse time 6 hours(set off at lunch time on a Friday!

    What is the funniest accident you have seen?
    On the beach in Gaeta (Italy) in the 1970s, in the middle of a hot august day, heard a screech of brakes and looked up in time to see a mutt narrowly avoid being run over by a car which had braked sharply when it ran into the road.

    But then the car behind rear ended the first, and was rear ended by the one behind, and so on until about dozen cars were involved.

    A moment later, a dozen flustered drivers all jumped out, slammed their doors almost in unison, and started yelling and gesticulating at each other like something out of the Italian Job.

    Must say it was the funniest thing you ever saw.

    Well your mum and I were discussing this one morning and I have to agree with her when she said you were the worse accident in her life.

    I think you need to seriously consider it.

    Could you do a crossover episode where Wilmslow goes on a date and bumps into Gricer and Malc and possibly also involve Pacharan on one of his lawnmower things? I'm sure much hilarity would ensue

    M3. Lorry ploughed into a bus at about 85 mph, both turned over and a good dozen pensioners on a day trip to Southampton died.

    They spent most of the day scraping them up. Oh, how I laughed.

    Lanes 3 and 4 were closed because of numpties not letting each other in and racing. 4 cars bumped into each other. No major damage, as in nothing overturned, but a few bashed ends.

    Rather than move the cars to the hard shoulder they were stood out of their cars having a blinking bunfight. Meanwhile the M62 grinds to a halt.

    Not as amusing as the lady I stopped to rescue who was perched in the middle of the crash barrier who burst into tears on my shoulder when a white van man shouted oh, well done love…..

    I haven't seen it yet.

    It'll be when your clapped out focus has a blow-out and you plunge down the embankment of Scammonden Dam into the freezing waters below.

    Mercifully no-one else will be involved.
