Bank Holiday Queues

M5

The mad dash South to the West country ( never understood that one)
These cars are still 20 miles north of the M4 – M5 Bristol Interchange
So they will be here for some time..

Being a local, I rather smugley took a different route :)

And they'll do it all again on Monday night! Except everyone will be wet, tired and broke! Bank holiday bliss!! LOL!

Good shot. Great in b&w

Great in b/w..

Great shot! Rhode Island is very popular in the summer (no, really), and I do feel a little smug zipping around the back roads while the tourists sit in this mess ;o)

This reminds me of Tuesday, trying to get to London to catch a flight to Greece, in 8 miles (and over 5 hours) of traffic behind a jack-knifed lorrie near Standtead, only to be turned around and diverted into another traffic jam-we didn't make the first flight...or the second-lol! Funy enough there was a guy taking pics on one of the bridges then as well-lol!

And I thought they were bunched up because they were driving on the wrong side of the road! ;-)

Staying home and enjoying the fruits of your mortgage is the clever option here!

There's something very satisfying in spending a bank holiday in the back garden, going absolutely nowhere!

The smart guys already live in the West Country.....

excellent.. so interesting to see but a bit upsetting to the brain since the cars are on the wrong side of the lanes.. so are the steering wheels, ok 'wrong' only to me here in the states! hehe

Wow, brilliant shot. Glad I'm not stuck in that mess.

Looks like the smart guys are heading off to Walsall for their holidays.

Very nicely taken. Really tells the story.
We have a 3 day holiday this weekend also.

Glad to hear you were on a different road! Superb shot - a great representation of what a bank holilday weekend can become!

Arghhhh! they're all coming this way!!!!!!
Faye White24-May-2008 12:11
It will most likely be this way here too.... I'm staying off the highways this weekend.

cool shot!

Mind numbing.
We were so lucky on our 6weeks holiday there last year, never hit a traffic jam once.

For some reason this photo feels backwards to me. Can't quite put my finger on it though... ;-)
