Hi all,
Drove down to Somerset over the Bank holiday.
Travelled from Nottingham to Minehead and return - M1, M42, M5 Didn't see a single Scorpio all weekend!! - very unusual
Where was everyone??
On another point - Didn't see a single police car either - any connection??

Always do Craig, we come down 4/5 times a year for the last 15 odd years!!
The place we stop at is actually just outside Porlock..straight out onto Exmoor - wonderful!! 
Saturday night spent out and about in Minehead, Sunday night spent in the village pub.
Take your point about gridlock - took us 2 hours just to get past Bristol coming home yesterday, still, with the climate control doing its job, autobox and plenty of choice on the CD changer, traffic jams are a doddle!!
