Odd, I went from Eastcote to Garston and it took 40 minutes. I left Eastcote at 22:15.
Which part was so slow? I drive via Watford on all the main roads at the moment.

I work in Eastcote\Pinner.

My friend works for the AA - poor b@5tard.

Took us 2h to get from Watford to Hemel but we left work at 4 so I think we were lucky. Some of my staff spent 5 hours getting from Watford to Maple Cross!

I won't say in a public forum. MORE SNOW 463221
Not far from Hatch End at all but I have been avoiding that way to work as the roads are not as main as the way I go via Northwood Hills.

I work on bridge street. I left work at half 4 after gettin the ok from the boss, went along the A41 to hemel to drop a mate off which took 4 1/2 hours, then from hemel to st.albans took me an hour, they closed the hemel bypass so everyone was being filtered through kings langley.
then an hour to st.albans... driving along hemel hempstead road, even with full beams, I couldnt see 20ft in front of me.

did you see the pictures of the M1? people were just leaving their cars on the hard sholder and walking home Shocked
