Samaritan? - matt35 {P}
A guy is wakened by a drunk at 4am - goes downstairs, opens the door and the drunk says 'Can you give me a push?' The guy tells him to get lost and goes back to bed.
His wife reminds him of the time They were stuck and someone helped them....so he gets dressed and opens the door.
'Are you still there?'
'Yes'
'Do you still need a push?'
'Yes Please'
'Where are you?'
'Over here on your swing'
(Just to take my mind off the queue on the A120 this morning.)

This might be better on the motoring jokes thread.

BTW, what did happen in Essex this morning?
The A414 was solid from Chelmsford to beyond Ongar (that's as far as I used it). Something between Ongar and the M11?

And of course the A12 was jammed on the M25 junction due to the transporter accident closing the motorway, nothing going on or off and tailing back.

Brian,
Essex roads might be better off on the jokes page!

Too right. Last Thursday it took me nearly an hour to drive three miles into Chelmsford and back to pick up my daughter.

I've just faxed my MP to point out that if Stansted is expanded then the additional airport workers required will bring the whole area to a halt as they try to get to or from work.

I used to have a car like that, Brian.

You'll find it's quicker to walk...

Brian,

The A12, A127, A128, A414 all would have been affected by the closure of the M25.

I heard about it in time and went the other way round the M25 which was busy but I made my half a circuit in under 2 hours, which I reckon was a result this morning.

That's got to be something, going the Heathrow way round the M25 in the morning because it's quicker!
