heh - the three hours included hanging around at South Mimms for 15
minutes, and about 30 minutes in John Lewis in WGC to return a dress
that Angie bought the day before and then decided she didn't like as
soon as we got home[1], So, that's more like a 60mph average, which
isn't too bad for the type of roads I was on...

[1] she does this all the time.
