My girlfriend was coming up to visit me on the M5 and she has been stuck in the same place for 4 hours! So annoying! The gay thing is that if this sort of weather continues then the gov't won't do feck all to the drainage system.

TBH this is the worst the rain has ever been..
And the amount of distruption that maintaining and ammending the drainage system, the government thinks its pointless

Took me almost 4 hours to get the 35 miles from Newbury to Witney in Oxfordshire
A34 underneath the M4 J13 was closed so everyone was beign diverted over the M4 junction... which already had roadworks on and was also flooded at the top, down to only one lane barely passable
