Claire, latest report @10.09 is congestion caused by roadworks reducing Northbound to one lane.
If Southbound is straight congestion
Put Classic FM on and have a chill.
Cheers, Pewe

I hope you're not using your mobile phone whilst owning a motor vehicle. That's a new offence under the latest nanny legislation.

Thankfully the traffic started moving at 12.20...........then my satnav got me lost (loads of new roads) , and my 45min journey finally came to an end - 4 1/2 hours later

Back home now - and just getting ready to head off down the M42 again
