I blame those big lorries and 4x4's towing caravans - taking up all the roadwidth, slowing everyone else down.

And another thing - last week I caught the GNER 225 High Speed Train to London - it only travelled at an average of 160kph, even though it says in big letters on the train "225"; It doesn't say "up to 225kph"! Would they give me a refund? Would they b*gg*ry!

thanks for that, i may join you and start a campaign
