M4 Westbound closed between Jcns 17 and 18 because of overturned pig transporter and pigs on the motorway:

(Seriously)

Anyone know if this is affecting eastbound as well? BBC only says westbound but AA Roadwatch shows 0 mph eastbound as well. I'm hoping this is just the AA getting it wrong (as there's no text explaining the map) otherwise I'll need to think about setting off soon to get back in time for the game

EDIT: Looks like Beeb are right - web cams show traffic moving eastbound as of 10 mins ago.

There have been rasher decisions made.

i bet those pigs wish they could fly

Hahaha

In all seriosness, if you're coming from bristol ignore the M4 Completely I'd suggest. Head to bath then get on the A4 to chippnum

Watching the video on the beeb website traffic seems fine in t'other direction

Paul there was me thinking you had gone all "street" and were talking about the police!   :D

My good lady is stuck in that westbound, was on the way to Ikea with my daughter. They've been sat there since 1pm  :(

The highways agency site has live cameras all down the m4 have a look on there,my lap tops a bit slow for me to look.

Thats what you get for dragging a child to Ikea

Sow ?

Erm no. In this case it's what a mother gets for her child insisting that she goes to Ikea. You haven't got any daughters, have you? No, I can tell.  :wink:

that's well snout of order.
they must be so boar-ed

You're for the chop if you carry on like that, Neville.

Traffic england has the eastbound M4 doing 61mph. Should be fine i would guess


Not legally

It's quite a warm day too. They must be bacon in that car

or you could go the whole hog and avoid the m4 completely.a420

Sauce ?    (apple)

Trotter long now.

I did after I'd posted, albeit on the BBC site (same cams though) hence the EDIT: bit - seems to be OK eastbound. So no panic, but I seem to have precipitated a porktastic avalanche of pig puns.

I can fillet.

Tell 'em to (s)wine'd down the window.

you lot are crackling me up.i'm gonna need curing at this rate

Bet they'll have to wait an sausage for this to clear

Is she driving an old banger ?

Have to be careful of sunburn too, or she'll need to treat the burns with oinkment

If they catch a few rays they might get home looking quite sty-lish

Get off at Junction 18, and head down through Tormarton, Acton Turville and Castle Combe onto the A420 just before Chippenham. No pig related puns from me as I'm as thick as pig shit....

Let's hope they don't start (pork) scratching(s) around for something else to do

It's OK eastbound, so no need, God (s)willing

what's green and smells of pork?


that joke never grows old

what's the punchline??

Well they are now home. Apparently 16 piggies died in the crash. Pork chops for dinner  :)

Euuuuuuuuuw!!

Theres normally one in a speed camera van M4 bridge near the Marlborough junction.

... he's being moved to the magic rindabout for hamming it up in front of the camera.

We're scratching around for these last few puns.

Jokes this bad are enough to make some people kermit suicide.

Couldn't think of any more pig related puns that hadn't been done 100 times already.

You missed one

I missed this on the news. Still trying to figure what the pigs were doing. Were Brisstol playing away that day?
