    Did one many years ago, met my father and grandfather there on the night (without knowing they'd be there).

    All three of us caught on the same stretch of road 50 down to 30.

    From memory it was about 3 hours, which made me late for dinner and meant I had to speed all the way home.

    That taught you how not to get caught out by any recent changes in road speed limit signage? Cool.

    So do I, assuming it's a single carriageway road, but people implying that the law has changed and thus Barakka is wrong are telling porkies...
