A14?
This is a thread that'll be short lived, (because everyone will have been killed)....., but what's the script with you nutters and the A14? That's every day this week on Lynn Bowles traffic news that "Ipswich" and the "A14" have featured. What's happening guys? Overturned lorries, twice this week, and bumps etc.
Must be the Ipswich Audi Drivers club fking things up for everyone.

Re: A14?
Ah......, ive heard that many times on the Radio Two traffic news....., The Copdock Interchange. Sounds like a nightmare.
But same here with the Edinburgh City Bypass between 7am & 9am....., surrounded by morons who dont know how to drive. Lorry drivers are the worst though. They just don't want to let anyone in off slip roads at all. All the air brake noises and their cab going up and down, "Psst, Psst, clunk clank Psst, Psst" trying their hardest to keep you on the slip road. Not me...... I put my nose right in front of the fuckers,....., actually praying that they'll hit me....., the noises are louder, it's "PSST PSST, CLUNK PSST PSST" ...... Always give them a very friendly mocking wave though. Love it.

So it may be occasionally, but it's also the best road ever built to link East Anglia (especially Ipswich and Felixstowe) with the Midlands and North of England.

Yeah, but it hasn't evolved and struggles with volume of traffic now. It needs widening to at least three lanes, same with the A12.Charnwood wrote:marko69 wrote:Aw aye eh......, the A14 just HAD to join in with the "bad weather" news eh ?! Orwell Bridge closed?! Useless bloody A14!

I'm sure it does but it still beats the days of following Town to away games in The Midlands before it was built when it used to take 2hrs to get to St Neots.

Re: A14?
3 days in a row, (Thursday, Friday last week) and now today, that this road has made Lynn Bowles traffic news on Radio two.
I think this should be incorporated into the football section. Mick, get serious at PR sooner rather than later......., you are turning the Suffolk drivers into fkn maniacs.

My brother is over there now learning how to drive. That could have a HUGE part of all this.

Re: A14?
Just heard on the radio that there is a traffic jam on the A14 near a place called "The Copdock interchange".
Got me thinking, I hope there are no guys in that jam heading to the GUM clinic......., Held up at Copdock en route to Cockdoc.
