It's lies, all lies! Britain's roadworks are the best?? What does that even mean?!
BBC News reports that an AA Trust survey has declared Britain's motorway roadworks to be the best in the whole of Europe. I'm stunned. When was the last time you sat in a ten mile tailback, thinking "Fantastic. I've been held up by some roadworks in my time, but these ones really are outstanding." If you're sadistic enough to want to experience truly terrible roadworks, then apparently you need to go to Croatia.
It's truth, all truth! I'm really rather enjoying the Kids Club at the moment. Last night, as well as the obligatory football, there was a much broader range of things for the kids to get involved with. They could glue their fingers together at the craft table, or leap about in front of the Eye Toy (which is THIS). There are few things funnier than watching a 'responsible' leader flailing away at thin air in an attempt to punch a virtual boxer on a screen. I personally got floored more times than I care to admit.
Cheer up Richard Hammond. He's now been airlifted to a hospital closer to his home, but if that wasn't enough, he was also serenaded by the Thundersley brass band, who decided on the spur of the moment to go and play outside his hospital window. There was no escape! And what tune did they select? 'Is This The Way To Amarillo?'. Er... yes. That'll aid recovery.
