Does anyone knowwhat the hell was going on in Birmingham today? I'm returning home (to Liverpool) from down South, and the M6 is fecking stationary and I have no fuel!
gets off at a random junction (J6) and there's a million and one coppers about, police bikes on standby at roundabouts and no fuel at the first garage I found.
Made it with half a litre to spare, and wasted an hour st Star city playing DDR because I can't be arsed sitting in a traffic jam..
I'm just puzzled as to why, was there a footy match or something?

Aye, there wasFA cup semi final at Villa Park. Chelsea 1 Fulham 0. No consolation to you, but apparently it was a good game.

Grr bloody football!How inconsiderate of them, don't they realise how annoying it is to be sat almost stationary next to a 'services, 13 miles away' sign watching the fuel needle sit at the bottom of the red, after you've already calculated it reads to high (after filling, it doesn't move for the first 50 miles!)
Still, gave me an excuse to go and waste money in the arcades, pity I'm skint now.
