Oxford traffic chaos
I thought the traffic jam I was stuck in this morning (thereby missing my train and consequntly being late for an event in Birmingham) was due to the roadworks on the Magdalen roundabout. But I much prefer
Tony's analysis of the situation:
From the amount of traffic backed up along our road (a popular rat-run from the villages into north and central Oxford) I would guess that the private schools have started back today.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: There's not much about Oxford's rush hour traffic problems that couldn't be solved by closing the private schools. Or at least, restoring to these deprived children the use of their legs for walking or cycling, or the ability to ride on a bus with (ugh!) the common people.
