That's what happens when you travel into central London, it's like a friggin time warp! Why anybody would choose to do that when they don't have to is beyond me! :D

Yes, and the Bradford ring road also bends time in a similar fashion.

They call it a ring road, I'd not describe it as a ring road by any stretch of the imagination :smt019

Re: Soooooooo...

I know who came the furthest last year. ;)

I had a 5000 mile, 20 hour flight (with connections) to land in Manchester then hopped on a bike and rode past Chippenham and that was just the first leg of the journey.
Not sure how may hours I had been awake at that point but would still take that over London traffic!

You either really took the long way there or took a heck of a shortcut on your way home!!!!
