    Yeh , it was crazy ,

    It was backed up miles , hardly any of it appeared to be Footy traffic either.</p>

    The Cops should have been to sort it out.</p>

    weirdly

    we only met one bit of traffic on the way down where there was roadworks. queued for about 10 minutes (if that) then we were on our way again. not one bit of traffic coming back either.</p>

    set off down at 6:30, was in cardiff at 11. Got back to barnsley at about 10:15.</p>

    RE: weirdly

    while travelling down i got a text from a lad at work telling me to avoid the m40 because it was down to one lane so it must have been on national radio
    we got back to car at 6.45 home for 9.50
