What Not To Watch

Ladies in Lavender -- 'nuff said.

How Not To Get To Work

I was forced to drive through Reading this morning thanks to a sign on the M4 saying "M4 J10 closed", and no hint of an alternative route. I left at J12, followed the A4 until the signs for the A4 mysteriously vanished. Then I followed signs for the A329(M) only to find I was on the A329 heading towards Wokingham/Bracknell (ie the way I didn't want to go, and on the wrong road too). I turned around, found the A4 again, except it was one-way and heading towards Newbury and there were no signs to the other half of the road going into Reading. After following some weird one-way route I eventually emerged onto the A4 towards Reading and then found a sign for the A329(M) again. I sat in traffic for ages then saw a sign for Sutton's Business Park, which is near where I work. So I followed that, found a roundabout I knew and was able to get to work about half an hour later than I'd have liked to. When I got into work I was completely pissed off, and then I was told what I already suspected:

J10 on the M4 was open and flowing smoothly. *FUME*
