    See Here[^]. I notice 9 of the 10 most dangerous roads are in t'North. I suspect that the roads are not dangerous, it is the fact that Northerners can't drive. After all it has only been a generation since they all work'd int'mill, barefoot, and the only form of transport were a whippet.

      Another good reason never to venture outside the M25 - it's where the Lutonians live... :-)

        Why, you soft southern pansy. Those roads aren't in the north. The south starts at Darlington.

                    Not to be confused with the larger town of Watford :) Luton is south of the Watford Gap :)

                                Watford Gap? Really? I live in Nuneaton, which I believe is north of Watford Gap, yet in the heart of the Midlands. Definately not in the north.

                                      Thanks, I'm so pleased, I think I am getting a tear in my eye. Sorry, feeling a little emotional as being accepted for who I am, Soft Southern Pansy!

                                        See Here[^]. I notice 9 of the 10 most dangerous roads are in t'North. I suspect that the roads are not dangerous, it is the fact that Northerners can't drive. After all it has only been a generation since they all work'd int'mill, barefoot, and the only form of transport were a whippet.
