Im Medway to Plymouth, and normally would go each way early in the morning to avoid as much traffic as possible.

Medway to Plymouth that’s a long ass drive !
I hate driving Hampshire to Medway and I only do that fleetingly to visit my mum down near Rainham.

All my social feeds and emails being bombarded with adverts and offers for SEED golf balls!
I’ve never used one, never signed up for anything and never even googled them! But in last 3 days alone I’ve had 25 emails which I can’t unsubscribe from as when I hit that button it confirms I don’t have a subscription!!

I live in Devon now, but grew up in Sussex, which I think is certainly part of SE England. Apart from the A23, I'm struggling to think of any other decent A road in Sussex. If you're going to trendy Brighton you'll be OK, but otherwise - tough luck.

The hand-dryer at my office is ridiculous. It's a knock-off of the Dyson ones, where you put your hands in the top instead of underneath, but it's way too powerful - so it blasts all the water off of your hands and up onto your shirt. Very annoying. There are no hand-towels put out either so no alternative, except to walk away with wet hands.

On calls most of the day, and the amount of people who can barely answer a simple question is amazing. No wonder energy prices are going up.

It's not that bad TBH.Normally 5 hrs or so. A few times much longer, and a few times much less
Medway to Northumberland earlier this year is a much longer journey

Move to Scotland where no such additional road taxes exist.
Our ferry fares are much cheaper as well

Aye, but the higher taxes are pricey. Almost £2k if earning £50k.Move to Scotland where no such additional road taxes exist.

Well wordedAye, but the higher taxes are pricey. Almost £2k if earning £50k.
But ..........................The majority of Scots pay lower taxes in Scotland than they would if they lived in England.
A few thousand reasonably well healed residents do pay a few baw bees more.
Better stop there or we will be getting a ruler over the knuckles.....sideways on by one of my more pleasant primary school teachers

The ferries never work as they are old and decrepit. And we had better not mention the mess of the new ones being built.Move to Scotland where no such additional road taxes exist.

Got the ferry to Islay this summer. The lady doing the coffees certainly vented about the mess. We had to drive to Tarbet as couldn't get ferry over. Advance booking was a right old effort too.
Planning a run to Arran next year. Worried about booking accommodation until I'm certain about ferry timetable.

That is rubbish. Pretty much anyone who bothers to work full time pays more.Well worded

Phone call this morning at 02.00 youngest daughter out with 3 friends can’t get home from a club as no cabs will take them as one of them keeps throwing up.
So I’m up towels on back seat drive 30 minutes to pick them up get to where I think they want picking up from no sign,daughter not answering phone.
Eventually get a call back they have walked somewhere else not sure where but they going to walk back to arranged pick up point.
1 hour later we meet up.
Drop 3 friends off at their houses bring daughter back home.
Throw said towels in bin (as full of sick).
Now wide awake and fighting the temptation to throw a bucket of water over daughter to see how she likes 2 hours sleep
