Swap Meet Exit Traffic

[Happydaze]

Didn't make the Swap and it's about this time that folks start coming away - and it's always a bit of a wait.

Anyway, just heard on the radio that there's something going on with the Dartford crossing and the traffic is having to use the tunnel two ways - so it's backing up everywhere. The traffic is usually pretty grim around Lakeside etc normally after the swap, but the implication is that it's a lot worse than normal.

And presumably most will only get to see this once you get home? Have a safe trip anyway.

Just got in from the Swapmeet. Leaving the Arena site didn't take too long for me, but the Dartford bridge being shut certainly caused some huge jams on the M25. There were what looked like huge queues on the Kent side.

Still a great event though despite the weather. I'd like to say thanks to the NSRA team who must have been frozen on the gates etc.

Some ***** stopped his car on the bridge and threatened to jump. Sounds like police managed to coax him off but apparently he slipped and fell anyway. Bridge is still closed now. Inconsiderate **** wit!!

Some *sharpness* stopped his car on the bridge and threatened to jump. Sounds like police managed to coax him off but apparently he slipped and fell anyway. Bridge is still closed now. Inconsiderate *flip* wit!!

He died and I can't help thinking it's Mothers Day so I know what I thought about.

Luckily we were going north (anti-clockwise) so after the half hour or so getting to the M25, it was a pleasant thrash home. It was pretty well stacked up going south to the bridge though

I know the toll charges are extortionate Steve, but surely there are better ways to protest!!

Funny?? More like quite sad, we're worried about some delays while some family's whole world is now probably f-caked up

Yeah bad day for someone.. But at least I found quicker way back to Colchester rather then take the normal M25 A12.... Good day though..

Pathetic,
It would seem there are some unfeeling jokers on here same as on the other side! I wonder how you would react if when you got home you found out it was a member of your family or a friend.

Funny as in the cops spent time talking him down and then he slips and got what he wanted anyway. I don't have much time for jumpers i'm afraid, think what you like about me, I couldnt really care less.

FUNNY

I'll state something FUNNY.

And this is not aimed at anyone specifically,its aimed at the human race.

If he was famous he would be considered fair game for jokes.

work it out.

[Magseller]

. . but he wasn't.

[plumpcars]

This thread has been a real eye opener.

[Captain Scarlet]

But Graham thats the whole point.

There should be no joke about anyone dying,i was highlighting the fact that not many come forward to defend famous people from jokey attacks,they have families too,eg; look how Boyd Codington was treated on the internet,it was disgraceful.

"Were all someones daughters,were all someones sons "

Of course ,it could be suggested terrorists or murderers are fair game,and i expect they would get less support.

Sadly a lot of comedy is based on cruelty,nothing will change the way things are,and certainly not me posting this on the internet either ,most likely just a waste of time.

I am not having a go at you Graham or any one else ,or a group/side taken on this thread,i am having a go at everyone, including myself.

True colours eh! nothing wrong with a bit of compasion & patience.

I wasn't gonna bother to answer this but I will tell you why I have no time for jumpers, I used to live in a house very close to a level crossing that was famous for jumpers, over the 2 years we were there my kids found fingers, hands, feet etc in our garden, we finally moved when the dog dragged in half a head one day, how do you think that affected my kids !!! FFS

I will say no more.
