I dunno. Making walls out of cotton? Won't they just fall over in the rain and cause even more problems?

Noticed the A38 & A30 on the road with the dotted line in the middle in this web cam - What does that mean?

Quite simple. The road forks a little bit further on and you should switch to the appropriate lane to avoid problems at the junction.

I see - That's what I was kind of thinking. Can you tell by the road number if they are north and south or east and west or anything like that bey the 'A' or the numeric part? Our federal highways are even numbered for east/west and odd for north/south and Have a 'I' in front. So I75 is a federal 'Interstate' highway going north & south.

Don't be silly Ken this is England, we wouldn't want trhe German panzers knowing which way to go.

[KenHigg]

Did panzers ever make it to the UK?

Not yet, but you can't be too careful. And then there sre the American tourists to amuse and bamboozle.

Hi Ken

We don't generally navigate using the compass points here. We tend to use Road number and next town name for that.

I could never quite figure how US drivers actually know which way is North or South. Does everyone have a car compass? Ok if the sun's shining but what about in the dark?

 

[Brianwarnock]

Don't compasses work in the dark?

They seem to be going much further in Europe than the UK this year

It took a while for the penny to drop, was about to ask for an explanation, but yeah a good win last night, only saw the highlights as I was playing, for want of a better word, bridge.

Nice one Dan.

It's pretty easy actually - If the people are becoming friendlier then you must be going south -

Actually it's posted on a jam cam the fork is at the bottom of a long steep hill, if tourists aren't blocking the road due to the sheer volume of traffic they breakdown on the hill because their cars aren't man enough to tow a bloody caravan up the hill

I thought I might see you on the city tour as we went through your area, Buckhead, but you weren't out tending the front, or jogging.
