Couldn't believe it when I saw the sign saying roadworks duration 2 and a half years!

Its ridiculous really and the speed limit is enforced 24hrs a day too not just to protect a workforce.
The M74 is flying up all over the place it's amazing what paying them bonuses for being on target achieves whilst also ridiculous for having to do so!

Don't worry, they'll just finish them and then start on the new Forth crossing

I work in Linwood. Live 25miles away in Hamilton, but I still get up at 5am each day so I can leave the house at 6, to be in at work for 6:45. And I don't have to start until 8am....

If I don't leave the house no later than 6:05am, then just getting to Linwood makes me want to slit my wrists and want to shoot other motorists for driving like half awake not a clue learners, the traffic gets so busy and bad.... The M77 at 6:20am going uptowards Ibrox is a complete joke. At 7am to 9:30 it's just a car park....

That's why too I work from 7am to 7pm each day - just to avoid the traffic jams.. Thank god I'm not married or the wife would want a divorce due to me not spending enough time with her

I'm quite fortunate in that I live in town and work in suburbia so I skirt around the edge of town and do the busy commuter route in reverse.

My dad works in Linwood

Are you certain that's a good idea? Do you think it will catch on?

Nice boots though, Darren.
