Saw you go up and around J9 yesterday. Sat there chuckling thinking 'That wont be any faster'

An hour? 'kin'ell I got to Segensworth and it all stopped, so after a few light cycles I thought B this for a game, changed to east bound instead of joining the west bound, hopped off at J11, up through to boarhunt, wickham, bishops waltham, fair oak, eastleigh and under J5 into work, only 30 mins late....
So what WAS the problem?
Yes the blue beast is quite recognisable...

Total Journey time from J12 1 hour 50 mins.
There was a badly parked (see what I did there?) flatbed blocking lanes 2 and 3. The numpties sent the recovery wagon in from Soton though so it had to go all the way through 2 traffic queues AND J9.

--- Quote from: "muddyjames" ---I am SO glad you lot werent around Chesterfield in the summer. the number of times I had to park in Tesco's with a lwb tranist van and a box trailer. My record was 6 car parking spaces. How else could I park apart from going lengthways across empty spaces. I would like to add though I parked in the furthest point from the doors not to annoy people hopefully!

YEs I think some folks have a very uncharitable attitude towards caravans/trailers. On the rare occasions I have found caravns parking spaces at the services they are usually full of truck drivers kipping down for the night (so they don't have to pay for a lorry park), although more usually no provision whatsoever is made for car/trailer combinations.
For those who think it's funny to block other people in on such occasions I'd warn you that people who drive that badly probably think nothing of bumping into you either. A mate of mine had his car reversed into by 'some old git' who, having walked past said car then jumps into his Astra and reversed straigtht into it. Whne my mate blew his horn the 'git' just looked daggers at him, like he shouldn't be there.
"s'why I drive range rover mate". (his car was a MkIII 'Tina BTW).
