IS THIS THE ROAD TO HELL?

There’s no way I was enduring the public transport ordeal again 
today so I decided to drive. It had to be quicker, plus the lovely 
Terry Wogan could keep me company.

The traffic was flowing like a dream on the M25. Until I got round the corner where it came to an abrupt standstill for no apparent reason. We crawled a bit, then stopped again. Crawled a bit, then stopped. Then Terry’s traffic woman said a lorry had broken down on the M25 near Heathrow airport.

I was only half an hour late but I couldn’t park. It was hard enough getting myself through security, but a car! No chance. I had to dump it in Tesco’s 
car park and phone the agency to tell them to phone the client and say 
I was running late (again).

Just one more hurdle to get through until I could begin the day’s work – Security. I heard they were bringing the Krypton Factor back. Maybe this could be one of the challenges: Navigate yourself to said destination on time and without going mental.
