    On a clear road, it's 45 minutes to their offices - straight up the A3 then left after Vauxhall Bridge. POP. Coming out of London at 7am on a Monday morning on the other hand will be a tad more trying.

      Mrs Wife has just called to say we're having a colleague over for dinner on Sunday. Hoho nothing wrong there. Oh, I have to pick her up from Heathrow T5 as she's flying in from Budapest. Do you think it would be okay for her to stay the night with us as she's only over for meetings on Monday and is flying back Monday night. I'll need to drive them into London Monday morning as they need to be in for a 7am meeting. Elephants, that's what I say. Elephants.

        The cars got good breaks and I know where EVERY camera is on the route.

          THE A3, on a Monday morning? It's a good few years since I was doing that between the M25 and the Esher turnoff, and it was hell then.

          One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

              We'll be going through around 6, shouldn't be stupid by then. I also did Ripley-Esher when I worked over in Epsom, it was less than fun going in for 8:30. BTW, do you know The Plough in Horsell? It's under new management and is very nice again.

                    No, Mrs Wife is earning all the money and I am just a simple house-husband. :-D On second thoughts, yup I am under the delightful thumb of my lurve.

                      That normally happens somewhere between the third and fourth [bottle of] gin.

                        Not an area I know too well, I used to go to the Red Lion occasionally. Maybe I'll take a run over there and test the beer.
