To get into Manchester today

 

 

No communication until you get down the slip road

 

Uncaring cunts

The Mrs has been kicking off about it this week as she gets the 125 to work.

 

I'm loving it as I can nip to nursery just before it shuts and pick her and the lad up in one go, giving me half an hour down time once I get home from work.

Took me 30 minutes to get through Euxton on Saturday lunch

 

Nearly got out and killed someone

 

What the fucks going on at the minute, work going on everywhere!!!

The aggy natives are very restless, except those north of railway road, where it's like going back in time 30 years with no cars.

It was fucking carnage on Monday and Tuesday but much better today; folk who usually travel through must have thought fuck that and I can't blame them. It will be even worse soon when Grimeford Ln and Station Rd is shut too. I need a little helicopter.

It's going to be bastard bedlam round these parts.

Station Road - closed

Grimeford Lane - closed

Rawlinson Lane - closed

Skewbridge - closed

Going to be a lot of work on scholes bank at the entrance to lever park ave at some stage soon too , possibly closing lever park ave but that depends on a few things first but definitely work there just to add to the collection

Does anyone else's sat nav struggle with Scholes bank? I get sku-holes bank.

 

Carry on

Nope, not sure exactly when yet, but will happen, before April at the current plan at any rate

There has been numerous gas leaks round there over the last few years. Presume they've finally decided to replace the lot rather than keep digging up to repair.

That's more or less it in a nutshell mate yes , that and it's part of a wider replacement program in any case

Total fucking gridlock! 35 minutes to go 1/2 a mile. This is going to be a shite commute!

In work at normal time

Total fucking gridlock! 35 minutes to go 1/2 a mile. This is going to be a shite commute!

 

Gridlocked along CNR, back through the Royal Borough and up Lever Park until 9:30.

 

Kids don't seem to be able to get to RBH without being dropped off at the door these days!

Why is everyone not just working from home?

Looks like all the complaints made about the lights in Aggy have been taken on board, not sure what they have done but traffic was much better this morning.

30 mins BL2 to M2.

Those roadworks on Blackburn Rd at the top of Eagley Way are a massive pain the arse.  Traffic was backed up down past the Brierfield this morning ... and it was snowing.  I just turned round and headed back to the ghetto to work from home for the day.

 

No wanks yet either.

Not so much the roadworks this morning.  A666 was shut on the way towards Darwen.

Yikes, looks like I did the right thing then.  How come?  Surely not just because of a wee bit of snow?

M65 was carnage from the sounds of it

Just spoken to a fellow Boltonian at work who stuck out the journey.  Took him over 2 hours to get in this morning.  Sucker!

Anyone would think we'd had 8ft of snow.

 

Fuck me, brits would be fucked if we ever got snow like the yanks have

The Yanks are no better than us when it comes to dealing with a bit of snow.
