No I was starting from 20 miles north of Winchester at the time
about 150 miles further west and another 70 miles south from
Chelmsford. I said it used to take 4 for Devon and 6 hours for
Cornwall from there and was accurate.
But hardly on topic for a Cambridge/London audience (see NGs posted
to).

Yes it is. We'll be living under a short-haul holding stack and
flightpath in the near future. And Londoners will be enjoying their
third Heathrow runway. Very ON topic actually.

Saying that it was possible to drive to the West Country all those years
ago in 4-6hrs is not topical for a Cambridge/London newsgroup.
