A couple of scary aquaplaning moments just before and after Belmont this morning, but the usual 35 mins door to door. Don't miss the A666/M61/M60 battle at all

thanks for your input

 

it would have been more use if you had been able to answer the question i asked, mind

I think as gonk mentioned and you were looking down from the sky at the M60 that's how you gauge it. Another way to think it is the counting of junctions for example Ashton (24?) To B town (15) is going backwards anti clockwise etc.

I think he is asking , how do they determine the anti clockwise side of that very circle, when, if you drew a line through it, you can be travelling anti clockwise on either side of that line. Don't think he's struggling with the concept of clockwise and anti clockwise to be honest!

 

I think though, as said before, they( the radio) meant the anti clockwise side of the junction where the queue or whatever was, to differentiate from the other side which also has exit and entry slips.

The side being the side of the central reserve rather than side of the motorway in area

All our prospective new buyers not realising we've relocated to an out of town retail park.

You're really having a spaz moment here aren't you

 

"what makes it the anti clockwise side"

 

It's the only side you cam travel anti clockwise on

 

Ie the inside lane

 

But because you come from Bury in more than one sense your thinking the clock can be upside down

 

Try wearing your watch upside down, if you don't already

will i be able to get sky broadband?

 

 

 

seriously, ill try to explain

 

they said

 

 

the anti clockwise side is stopped

 

they meant all 6 lanes on the oldham side of the 60

 

i don't see how that makes any sense as you can go clockwise and anticlockwise at junction 9, 1, 17, wherever

 

can't you?

Who said that the anti-clockwise side is stopped?

 

Because that makes less sense than Cheese.

is this a conversation better face to face?

 

"had the traffic news on and apparently the anti clockwise side was blocked
 
what makes it the anti clockwise side
 
i know i should say im joking but no, im not
 
you can go anti clockwise on both sides"
 
you can't
 
if you get on the M60 at the M61, if you go on the "clockwise side", you're on the outside, you go to bury, and would stay on past oldham, past stockport, then past the exit for the airport, didbusry, then trafford centre etc
 
if you got the "anticlockwise side", you're on the inside, you go past the trafford centre, didsbury, airport, stockport, oldham, bury
 
you can't go anticlockwise on both "sides", or you'll crash into oncoming traffic, on the clockwise side
