    That's bound to screw up some northern contractors who usually commute home from London for the weekends. What a pisser.

    Fortunately I'm 'working from home' this week.

    If we cut off the M1 as well then we could become independent of all these Northern scroungers!
    Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

                Londoners might want to be sitting down for this, but...

                The whole of the Midlands, Wales, East Anglia and South West England all the way down to Cornwall, are also below the point where the M6 is blocked and are therefore in your new "London" state. And that includes Birmingham.

                Just thought I'd mention that.

                    Olympics should be sold to France. They would do a better job.

                    Actually, I thing this country should *pay* the French to host the Olympics.

                    It would still be cheaper for us
