Saw the ITV breakfast programme where the presenters were baffled why the services were called Watford Gap 'Nowhere near Watford!" Miss Crosby bleated.
Eh, the village of Watford, Northants...... is near Daventry....... is near the M1 _________________ -

Years ago I remember there being a documentary about the M1, when it was constructed and first opened. I think I still have it on tape somewhere. It was more interesting than it sounds. _________________ Lord Evan Elpuss, Your ideal job is a Lumberjack. |

The M1 Motorway went into a pub and asked for a pint of beer. The barman replied, wait your turn. The M1 said, but I’m the M1, the first Motorway ever built, surely I should get served before this lot. Nope said, the barman. The M25 came in, all mouth and no trousers, I’m the M25 London Orbital –the only Motorway that doesn’t go anywhere, a pint of beer please barman. The barman said, you’ll have to wait your turn. The M3 came in and asked for a half, you’ll have to wait, said the barman. Next in was the M6 holding hands with the M5 – two pints please, said the M6, oh and incidentally folks I’m bigger than any of you lot- so I best get served first. You’ll have to wait, said the barman. The M42 came in, Mr Trendy, smelling like a tart’s handbag, a white wine please barman. You’ll have to wait, said the barman. Just then, a small piece of red tarmac walks in , the barman rushes to the pump , pulls a quick pint then gives it to the piece of red tarmac. What’s going on, said all the motorways, how come this little piece of red tarmac gets served first? Oh you have to watch him, said the barman, he’s a bit of a cyclepath. |

"The M42...Mr Trendy, smelling like a tart's handbag"
That's not quite what most people who use it call it! _________________ Ron |
