Can't work out if you're saying they should build the road (that was shown on plans for North Swindon 25+ yrs ago) or that they shouldn't.  It's long overdue, in my view.

There's a lot of press at the moment about the UK's productivity gap - and how per hour worked, we generate far less income than other economies such as France, Germany and the US.  I'm fairly sure that one of he contributing factors is the lack of
It feels to me that successive governments have used environmental concerns as a fig leaf for doing f##k all.  In most other European countries, roads such as the A303 & A34 would be built to motorway standard.  And junctions like the Air Balloon, at which routine congestion is the norm, would not have been left as they are for as long.
The sooner they bypass that pile of rubble alongside the A303 the better.  Travelling westbound during the day adds an average of 20 minutes on each journey.  Never had this problem before they closed the slip road that allowed access to the stones, now people just slow down and stare out of their windows.  Open up that road again and watch the traffic queues disappear.
Surely if I can see that then these high flying overpaid experts should be able to.
Definition of an expert,     Ex - something that has been.    Spurt - A drip under pressure,  think that just about sums them up.

Randomly looking at old players on swindon-town-fc.co.uk and seeing we used to have a player called Ronald McDonald.

Doing all my prediction league scores at the start of the season, forgetting all about it and then just looking this afternoon to see I am top of the league..... If only my betting was as accurate.

I don’t know whether the GWH is an exception, but I got an appointment with a consultant within 2 weeks of my GP visit. And now followed up within 10 days in getting a CT scan.

Fucking marvellous.

Nasty fucking Tories, privatising the NHS, making the plebs wait months, starving them of funds like an ungreatful exwife.
