    Dont mention Jamie bloody Oliver, and Alan Titchmarsh in the same thread @shiney .:biggrin:

    A couple of my worst hates, both a couple of big headed plonkers that tend to "crawl" very well.

    Sir Alan, and Sir Jamie.

          He's also got one of the silliest Essex accents seeing that both his parents talk posh! :scratch: :doh:

            I don't work (early retired) and we're up at 5:30 for first dog walking, when I worked could always manage a hour or so at the plot early of a morning before heading off for work, and still avoid the traffic.

              1 - Jamie "I'm so cool and down wiv da kids" Oliver , makes everyone over 50 skin crawl.
              2- By coincidence was just down in this area - Horsley - a few weeks ago , my brother just moved there. As JWK above, what is the point off moving a traffic jam 1 mile down the M3. It is not solving the problem.
              3- Why is everyone saying "signed" ? Have a missed sumfink , as Jamie would say :snorky:

                        Signed. If Nurses can work shifts, then others getting golden pensions (government ) should too. If you're not a frontline worker, work a night shift or work from home! Shift work would also spread out power demands.

                            Just remembered this and thought I'd add a small update - the threat to Wisley is over. They rejected that particular plan although issues still remain over where the entrance will be located
