Didn't reach all the way across and didn't stop the Scots from getting in! :)

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.

I know now, I was thinking of Watford, Herts. We are happy to have you as a southern softie, here have a :rose:
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.

Don't think Dangerous Road - think Interesting Road The safe ones are the boring straight things that make you wish you had stayed at home!

Boom Boom! Did you get that joke from watching Saxon the City?

The West Midlands is where it's at. We get the best of both worlds close enough to the South to have an emotional side which the ladies love, yet North enough for a hard nut exterior. And luck for me I'm from just far enough away from Birmingham and the Black Country to avoid that god awful accent

On the contrary, roads in the south are safer because they are just carparks. There are whole generations born and died waiting to get to their junction on the M25.

Take away crumple zones, airbags, impact bars, etc. -- in fact, position the driver at the very front, in front of the engine, with only glass for protection -- and suddenly *all* roads will become safe.

The Midlands, A desolate wasteland whence comes no culture. Indolent youths hanging out by shopping precints, and elderly ladies ekeing out their miserly pensions on cat food and bingo.

Have you ever tried getting across London? It average 4 miles an hour at peak times. Do you remember Clarkson driving the marathon route and getting there after the runner?

Yes. Years ago (mid-90s) I was working at Sugar Quays. I actually found it quicker to walk back to the flat than to use a car (and I didn't like the tube that much).
