What a crap drive home last night............................10 mph max for five miles

I was stuck in traffic on my way home from work last night for over an hour due to roadworks that have been going on for over a month.... It's just as bad in the morning.
To relieve my frustration... or rather just to find something to do I got my little point and shoot out and handheld it for a few minutes to record my 10mph "rush hour" journey.
I am 56 but I have to admit I still listen to BBC Radio One on my commute... Chris Moyles in the morning and Scott Mills on my way home.



The radio was my only comfort... and boy did I need comfort.
I managed to stop swearing long enough for it not to appear on the soundtrack.
Tonight was a little better but it was raining....
Youtube may remove the music...  so I apologize now if they do.

    I remember those days! (sometimes better than I remember yesterday ;>)!)

    I didn't get the reference to "still listen to BBC".. is it more for younger people usually or more for older people? Whatever, radio is definitely a good companion when you're driving alone.

    Hi Andrew...Just think how nice the road will be when it is finished ...; } lol!! No curing at me now, just trying to smooth the feathers..: }!!
    I still like this kind of music, but once the same line has been repeated one to many times that it, chance the dial!! haha!
    Hope your commute improves!

    Yikes Andrew, switch the station on the radio to a classical music station in situations like that. Classical music is a great stress reliever. My I would be frustrated and cussing too listening to that. In fact I'd get out and walk and you could pick me up at the end. (:^))

    Great post! I freaked a little when I saw traffic on the opposite side of the road but realized I was no longer in the USA! You reminded me that I'm listening to too much talk radio lately. Music always makes the commute easier...not much when it's like this but at least a little. And, btw, I'm 59 and that station rocks! LOL

    that'd be a typical drive home from work in the cities here forgetting the roadworks. It's really tedious and tiring isn't it getting home in the dark after a long drive with all the tail-lights ahead.
