Default Reflections on 4 day UK visit.

So returned to the UK last week for a quick visit. Traffic levels were unbelievable, was late for appointment the first two days do to the amount on Traffic on the roads. Driving was not a pleasure. Condition of the roads was unexceptable, potholes on major A roads,with cars actually driving around them.
Even the single track road that passes our house in Normandie has been resurfaced and is in better condition then most of the roads I experienced in Sussex. Rant over.

I was back week before last for a short while and could not believe how much worse the roads are in Kent these days, I still see pits/holes in places I remember from 20yrs ago before I left. I could never own my STI as a daily driver if I still lived inn the UK.
