What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Bob Olive]

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who subject themselves to abject misery just to do Christmas Shopping. On the outskirts of Sheffield, next to the M1 motorway is the Meadowhall Shopping Centre. It has 280 shops and free parking for over 12,500 vehicles. It is best avoided between now and the new year, particularly at weekends unless you're a complete masochist.

The shops don't open until 10am but the perimeter roads will clog up with people trying to get in until the place closes at 10pm. The police and the Urban traffic control centre do their best in trying to manage the traffic, but you can't get a quart into a pint pot and queues are inevitable. It even backs up onto the M1 at times causing mayhem everywhere.

It is why it's favourite nickname is Murderhell.

Ah yes, I remember it well.

Reckless said "It is best avoided between now and the new year, " IMHO the last six words are redundant

‘Hear it not Duncan, for ‘tis a knell, that summons thee to heaven - or Murderhell…’
