Yes, the Extension will start on 19 February 2007, but the claim was made
that someone was tampering with lights in order to create congestion prior
to the start of the scheme and that seems unlikely in view of the agendas
of those with the power to do that.
I think I'll just stay in West Cumbria, where a traffic jam is six cars
waiting for the lights to go green.

lol, yeah I was down in sleepy Redruth last Friday at around 4.30pm
with my father-in-law (a local) in the car.

As we sat behind all of four cars at a set of lights in the centre of
town, he shook his head and announced "so many cars on the roads down
here nowadays, it's a nightmare".

We'd just travelled 22 miles from Penzance in around 20 minutes and yet
he was convinced the roads were gridlocked...................bless. I
think I'd have given him a heart attack if I'd explained that, even
using M5, M4 and M32, it still takes me 65 minutes to travel 9 miles up
here during rush hour.
