M1, 16 miles of roadworks, just north of Nottingham. Specs cameras all over,and 50mph limit.

And I've jst been through it in both directions. Anyone care to guess at how many men I actaully saw working in the whole 32 miles?

Quite right..........NOT ONE

The workers couldnt get in because the roadworks and the snow made it impossible

Aye, i remember it taking our lot 5 years to construct 12 miles of the A1(M) southof Peterborough, to the A14 on the flat, and in that time, French workers made over 150km of the A75, through the mountains, bridges, cuttings, embankments, and LOADS of junctions.
