Tip for you mate, try to keep it that way ?

Does the M6 suffer in this or is it usually okay? I'm going down to Cheshire today and I usually go across to Carlisle and then down the M6. If it is truly awful then I can go A1, M62 but I would really rather avoid that, it is a horrible route.This rain needs to stop, only the lack of summer rain and low level of Thirlmere are preventing mass flooding downstream. Roads impassable county wide and another 100mm plus rain due to fall today.
Over 300mm has fallen at Honister already in last 24 hours.

I paid 80 quid for a Tool ticket the other week. I thought that was pretty steep. For Ed Sheeran you'd have to pay me 80 quid to go, and I'd still think twice about it.
I suspect that is the answer. I wont be setting off from here until around 3.30, not my choice, so I would be hitting the M62 at peak rush hour. Sounds as though it is the better option today though. Thanks for thatI’ve just driven down the A1 and M62 to Oldham, was a very relaxed drive. I’ve heard the M6 is closed somewhere near Tebay because of flooding #AvoidTheM6

I am lucky in that I am not a fan of massive gigs, just don't enjoy stadium events. The Royal Albert Hall is a bit special and I would pay extra to see someone there. Otherwise I just go to smaller venues (which luckily a lot of the bands I want to see still play) so it tends to be Rock City or, if I want a weekend away to see a gig, somewhere like the Brighton Dome. Tickets are normally £20-£25 so pretty reasonable.
Mention again to Rock City and the excellent way they handled a cancellation. I had 6 tickets for Passnger but many fo the group thought it was too soon for an indoor even so I emailed them. They keep a reserve list, they handled everything, re-sold my tickets at face value and redunded me within hours. Perfect way to keep the scalping sites out of the equation.
M6 was closed earlier at junction 39 with a lorry fire I believe although not sure which direction.
Shap will be awful in this weather but that is standard driving over Shap.
We drove up from Blackpool yesterday and north of Lancaster was 60 mph all the way with lots of standing water but traffic was light. Always more traffic south of Preston so I would say it should be OK but just take it easy and drive to the conditions.

I don't the service stop offs on that route, there will be no Killington Lake, that's for sure
Have you heard him fumble around Popmaster this week . It's been painful.The Ken Bruce stand in on Radio 2; he makes Zoe Ball sound like a professional broadcaster.
Agree totally. Think they are trying to appeal to the yoof with some of the stand ins recently!Have you heard him fumble around Popmaster this week . It's been painful.
It's a shame Gary Davies is covering for Zoe Ball, he is a much better stand in for Ken.
