What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[David Stepney]

Here in wales our road system is almost like a third world country, Apart from the deepest south of our land, around the Cardiff/Swansea/ Llanelli area, nearly all out arterial roads are single carriageway. The only exception to this in the north is the A55(M) which runs from Chester through to Holyhead taking the traffic through to the ferries for Ireland.

This makes getting from north to south a bit of a chore. Some weeks ago, i had occasion to drive from here in Bala down to Raglan, about 120 miles and three and a half hours each way. It would almost have been quicker to go to Birmingham on the A5/M54 and down the M6/M5!
