You were right, Paul. Went out this morning, to a meeting in St Helens....had to go across the Runcorn Bridge cos the Thelwall Viaduct was shut...finished meeting....Runcorn Bridge shut as well  At that point there was precisely 1 point to cross the Manchester Shi* Canal (in the middle of Warrington).....so me and 6 million other people tried to use it. Five hours to do 25 miles  Gonna buy a boat |

Ah yes a bad case of wind indeed! My house hasn't vibrated as much as this since we all had beans on toast after a few pints of beer down the pub....  |
