Anyone else stuck in the M5 chaos??
Took me an extra 1.5hrs to get to work 
And that was only because i turned round at the M50 junction and went about 50 miles out my way, would have been way longer judging by the way the M50 wasn't coping!!

I craftly avoided most of it by going round the lanes from Cheltenham to Tewkesbury. Took an extra 10 mins tops.
Weird seeing a completely empty M5.
Lots of people here we quite late getting in though, especially from the north.

What the hell is wrong with this place???
Left Gloucester to go pay some bills in chelt- normally takes me a few mins to get there.
Took me 1 hour to get there, and then another 45 to get back when i went the back route.
What a joke.

I don't know for sure, but I reckon it won't be today.
I know they have to resurface all three carrigeways, check the bridge and fix the central barriers etc.
Glad I got up late and didn't head into Cheltenham on my day off, before reading SN.
Cheers
