I took a chance on today as the weather forecast changed for the better before bedtime so it was up at 5am and over the M62, M18 etc to Immingham. I had breakfast at the truckstop which you now access from the new roundabout going back on yourself, bacon butty the size of a brick which wasn't great but better than the awful all day breakfast we had in M&S at Hedge End the other day, mostly cold - poor quality and value this compounds their year old cakes which arrive freezing ready to defrost no wonder they often taste like bricks. It was great at Immingham, thousands of lorries, I just kept going as long as I could stand eventually calling it a day about 2pm, I don't know how much footage I got but it's a lot, just downloading it all right now. We had a catch up on the TV soaps when I got home, managed to avoid the rush hour and the roads were all clear. Youtube have now deleted advertising on four of the five Egypt lorry films I uploaded yesterday, it seems yet another way of avoiding paying out but as Mandy reminded me we have just had another record breaking day for hits and revenue so no point in moaning too much but if you are a Youtube viewer just note that look at our full DVD list on the shop or news pages as we have a lot more than appears on Youtube with stuff like our pre war visit to Syria etc getting the heave ho by Google. I'll try and find something else a bit less controversial and slightly off the way though meanwhile expect tons of Immingham clips, not a VOSA van in sight. The old railway bridge is still there they have made the bnew one and the old one part of a two lane one way system! We are going to travel down to Cannock tomorrow and attend WNO at the Hippodrome in Birmingham tomorrow night, then its back home Wednesday. I'm going to try and do the buses at Halifax, Bradford, York and Harrogate plus Keighly as soon as suitable weather emerges on convenient days. Photos needless to say from Immingham Comments are closed.
