Our driver this morning sensibly got me home in 2.5 hours instead of the hour 50 it should have taken (less if you drive a bit above the limit as many do)

He said "sorry we're back late lads"

I replied "**** the apologies we were all asleep, not like you've cost us time"

Weather didn't seem that bad where I was sat night/Sunday until we got to early hours Monday when it started to hammer down. Then as I woke up briefly on the bridge I noticed the van getting a battering...
