The hypermobile are up to their old tricks again, causing chaos and
destruction. What are they trying to escape from en mass, their
drudgery and boredom or what?
"Holidaymakers face travel chaos this Bank Holiday with one in 5 rail
services being axed, gridlocked roads, cross-Channel strikes and - to
cap it all - thundery showers.
Tomorrow is expected to be 'one of the worst traffic days of the
year' with the rush starting at 10.30am leading to motorway speeds of
20mph and a doubling of journey times, says Trafficmaster.
The shut-down of more than a fifth of the UK rail network from more

Motoring groups say it will force families taking advantage of the
Bank Holiday and school half-term break to switch to their cars -

events and beaches will add to the congestion and delays..."

Escape from you, for a start.
You are SO predictable, it's unreal.

A triumph, once again, for those who can only use Public Transport.

I know , its shocking, people wanting to get away for a few days. They
should be forced to stay in their wattle a daub huts in the woods just
like you and never be allowed to travel more than 3 miles from the
nearest village, and thats only if their squire gives them permission.
I do however find the bank holiday rush rather odd. Are all these
people so short of annual leave that they can't take a single day off
at some other time and go away then with no queues or hassle? If you
want a stress free travel experience go away 2 weeks after a bank
holiday when the bleating herds have all returned home.
