southend

did anyone travel down to southend and watch the airshow? i went on monday and had a superb day apart from a drop of rain which didnt hurt too much. worse thing was coming home on that m25, 40 mph limits,three lanes going into two, stopping, starting, 20mph in places. why are the motorways so crap in this country?

because most of the roads are based on a 1000 year old Roman layout, and everytime they build a new road they only think about what people need now. Not what people will need in 20 years.

And for some strange reason developers seem to want to make houses and buildings inches away from the roadside, allowing no room for changes or expansion.
