It seems that the roads in London and the surrounding towns are just gridlocked every weekday in the morning and evening rush hours, and it's got much worse over the last 3 or 4 years. Getting the 3 miles from honme to the golf club can often take the best part of an hour. I blame all the immigrants that the last Labour Government allowed to flood in and cuts to the Public Transport budgets by the current Coalition/Tory Government! :angry:

Blaming traffic Jams on immigrants ?!?

What an utterly ridiculous comment to make

So 2 million extra people living in London and the Home Counties makes no difference then?!!!

They certainly don't create the traffic Jams you get stuck in when on your way to the golf club

Also can you show me where you get 2 mil from ?
 
There are 250,000 extra people coming to live here every year, on a very small island. Of course it's going to be busy. Best get used to it..

Personally I blame golfers for using their cars to travel to their golf clubs.

(No more ridiculous than the OP.)
 
Not the roadworks, the failing carriageways, local authority planning departments building more & more housing in areas with transport infrastructure that's already beyond its capacity or Boris' stupid ideas regarding bus & cycle priority, just the immigrants? Okay……… :rolleyes:
 
I work from home and I've found the commute from my bedroom to my office down the landing is also getting worse. And whilst I can't prove it, going purely on uneducated hearsay and scare stories by UKIP, I'm convinced that it's the immigrants fault.

And they bombed our chippy in the war.
 
Travelling to and from the golf club in rush hour seems to be the problem. What is the world coming to when one cannot travel to their golf club during rush hour without getting caught in traffic?!
 
If you only live 3 miles from the golf club, why not get a locker, keep your clubs there and cycle? Anyone can cycle 3 miles in less than an hour. Everyone's a winner :thup:

A chippy that was probably run by immigrants. :D


How do the immigrants cause the traffic jams? Surely their dole money (that they came here for) doesn't stretch to running a car?
Or......heaven forbid........are they travelling to work? Surely not! :whistle:

They are all using their X5 or Q5 to drop their kids off at school

I think they should have special lanes to and from all golf clubs for golfers like they do for taxis and buses. So you can have a golfer painted in the lane dressed up in golfers uniform, holding a 7 iron or something like that. And you can only use the lane if you have a set of golf clubs or other golfing paraphernalia visible in the car. Surely that's a vote winner.;)

Surely it would have to be Seve in his famous celebration on the 18th at St Andrews at the 84 Open?!

No way, this was in the good old days before we had immigration when your local chippy were run by British chip shop owners. As were Indian take aways. And when all we had to worry about was being bombed by The Hun. Aaah, happy days....

I tells you, a vote for that nice Mr Farage and we will return to the land of milk and honey.

And I was confused by that as well as I was under the impression that all immigrants were either on the dole claiming benefit or having babies courtesy of the NHS. So what are they doing on the roads at rush hour? Unless they are on the way to the maternity ward I suppose.

Your right, we were ok when we only had meat, meat and potato and steak and kidney pies.

It was when we went to chicken and mushroom, and god forbid, Balti pies when the very fabric of British life unravelled.
