To Old Swan, Liverpool

Its Friday teatime 5.00 pm, its rained 2 months of rain in a day, its rush hour and we have to go to Old Swan in the middle of Liverpool.
Three reasons for not leaving the house..............
Dobshill A55 someone has turned over his car and trailer, its usually because they go too fast. The traffic is building up everyone from Merseyside heading for North Wales. A customer in The Bungalow as we go past. Traffic is light as it is all going the other way.
We reach Old Swan with Lisa's navigation. A motorbike has run into the side of a van but doesn't look like he's hurt. Traffic is fairly sensible in Liverpool, loads of Gatso's and I think some heavy mobile camera action in the past. In between the main roads are the islands of houses. Where before you could go off any side road to get to another main road through the houses, this is now impossible because each side road has bollards in the road at mid point forming 2 cul de sacs. A perfect traffic calming technique. Rows and rows of cul de sacs.
A council with vision!
