Well, Ofcom would be pushing their remit a little to get involved.

The TW story starts to go off the rails, financially speaking, under McQuarie.  The opening, soon I think, of the tunnel in London being a good example.  Expensive capital projects funded by loans financed through offshore firms owned by the same owner at interest rates that are variable (I believe), while taking the profits and providing share holder returns.  Avoided tax, in legal ways, scraped the secured profit and then added interest payments for years to come after they sold it off.

Mead Way. When did they fucking change the road layout? Driving from Bridgemead behind a van, said van then turned right into the Westlea industrial estate, leaving muggings driving straight on over a newly chevroned bit of road. No 'road layout has changed signs'. Ffs. Waste of time making it 2 lanes northbound.

You’re not in an exclusive club.

The signs clearly point it out as you approach from GWW. 😉

3-4 weeks btw.
