I meant that the M25 is infinite because it is a continuous circuit, the road to nowhere, the road to Hell where the lost souls of the eternally damned drive around and around in a satanic limbo of permanent lane closures, never finding their exit, living a shadow existence in the services, off burgers & fries with XXL coke and special offers of AA Atlases, sunglasses, satnavs, and inflatable kayaks, and never going home...

 

 

🎵Stood still on a freeway, I saw a woman by the side of the road

With a face that I knew like my own reflected in my window

Well she walked up to my quarterlight and she bent down, real slow

A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadow

 

And she said 'Son, what are you doing here?

My fear for you has turned me in my grave'

And I said 'Mamma, I have come to the valley of the rich,

myself to sell'

And she said 'Son, this is the road to Hell

 

On your journey 'cross the wilderness

from the desert to the well

you have strayed upon the motorway to Hell'.🎶

 

I remember when it first opened, there wer coach tours that took you all the way round....

How much !!!

 

 

Probably cheap as chips when available.

 

I'm afraid it's the Amazon logarithms. That's why you get books that cost £5 listed for £100 plus, and the price often goes up when someone looks at it as the computer seems to think it's in demand!

Sort of thing you find in novelty shops next to the tins of Tartan paint!

 

 

Wasn't there someone selling tins of fresh air at one point?

Not yet.  Some say, on misty nights you can see them faintly in your mirrors, rusting broken-windowed ghosts with skeleton drivers and passengers, eternally damned lost souls, the flying dutchmen of the M25.  
 

Strangely, one does not hear similar tales from the Paris Pepherique.

I'd be asking questions as to who modelled for that!

I very nearly replied with a suggestion of the most likely location in the country for suitable candidates, but thought better of it!

I was thinking of a completely different county. Here in Cumberland, everything is bigger. Mountains, lakes and sausages of course, but you should see the size of the new potatoes I've just bought, grown in the specially-enriched soil of Egremomt. We don't need to eat Ready Brek up here.

The Readybrek ad with the lads waiting at a railway station in the pouring rain does look rather Cumbrian....

It doesn't matter what the size is of potatoes is, if the likes of McDonalds get hold of them, they break them down to minute particles, then squash them back together again, in an enormous press and cut them to a standard length!

The Ffestiniog railway sold tinned steam in the sixties, possibly still do.
