    Just back from Sunny Florida and even though I’ve been many times the difference with a view to the motorist there and here is night and day, a full tank of petrol in a 7 seat car cost me £42, it was $3.03-3.12 a US gallon, the i4 varies between 3 and 6 lanes each way, and the never close it for roadworks.
    One Toll road cost about $6 for 30 odd miles and was pristine, no litter, grass mowed short, here we shut motorways every night just to clean the gutters, Hedon Road and Clive Sully look like jungles.
    America has many many faults, but the roads are great, Britain is broken, like a 3rd World country here now.

    Drove regularly Calais to Dijon in central western France not over busy but immaculate all the way and they don’t let lorries in the outer lane of two lane section or if weather is dodgy - try the M18 for that !

    Talking of soft lad.

    He needs to tone down the ‘ambient’ lighting at his house.

    It’s ****ing ridiculous, sometimes less is more.

    East Yorkshire’s big sky land
    please log in to view this image

    Photograph: Steve Morgan/Alamy
    Welwick Saltmarsh is a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve on the north bank of the Humber estuary, 11 miles east of Hull. A walk along the flood banks on an autumn day is magical. This part of East Yorkshire is “big sky” land. On a rising tide, flocks of thousands of wading birds and waterfowl flood the sky and form swirling clouds as they come into roost in the saltmarsh. Scandinavian thrushes escaping the cold of winter float in from over the North Sea and settle in hedgerows to gorge on hawthorn berries. Hen harriers glide in to roost as the sun sets in the west and you can look across the estuary and see Grimsby Dock Tower backlit against a sky of ambers, pinks and darker inky blues.

    The last few words sound like City's home kit for next season, modern fashion. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

    Junior just went to Spain for a short break, the flights cost almost nothing, as the outgoing flight was on Friday 13th and they have trouble selling flights on that date.

    I didn’t realise there were so many superstitious people out there.

    Just driven across the Atacama Desert from Chile to Bolivia - no traffic problems but 10 feet wide, rough tracks at 16000 get tested the suspension (cars and mine).

    Santiago is one of my all-time favourite City's, well worth a visit if you haven't planned to go there.
