I watched a very disturbing program on BBC4 yesterday, 'The Secret
Life of the Motorway'. In it a lorry driver confessed to taking his
wife shopping in their car every Saturday, involving journeys of
hundreds of miles. The lorry driver said he found it 'relaxing'.
Apparently vast shopping malls are growing up along motorway routes,
to the detriment of the High Street, due to shopaholic/caraholic
motorists. Shame on them!

I'm amazed that you managed to fit in watching this (biased by the usual
greencrap) program when you have so much of your time dedicated to
watching "Men and Motors". Can you actually bear to miss your shot of
soft pornography? Oh hang on, cars are pornography for you.

Do you mean blue water doesn't exist? or maybe motorways don't - Blimey,
never knew that :-)

Yes I must admit they do seem to provide a horror fascination.The fact
that these machines of death and destruction are not only allowed but
approved of in what might other wise be considered a civilised society
is a constant source of amazement to me.

More due to the horrendous prices of land in city centres.

Good program from your point of view, emphasising that with motorways,
JIT and supermarket dominance (as approved of by Duhg) that the UK is
permanently 3 days from running out of everything.
