The view from James's house in Leeds

"...Dad, can you pick me up on the way home please...?"

Those few words instill an instant feeling of depression.

This means battling with the following on a Friday night:

M60 around Manchester
M62
Leeds City Centre
M1 Sheffield
M1 Nottingham

..all rubbish traffic areas at any time, but on a Friday night before a Bank Holiday weekend. Bleaugh..

Arrived home at 10:30.

I've never seen so many caravans...
