The future's so bright I gotta wear shades

Ha! I am stuck in a traffic jam on the way home from Whitby. I'd just dropped davefish off at his workplace when the M1 ground to a complete halt. Handbrake on, then phone out, then engine off.

But I have just discovered that, when I packed the 4G Wi-Fi dongle we've been using this weekend in our cottage, I didn't turn it off. It's sitting in a bag in the boot, providing me with a decent internet connection.

All traffic jams should have Wi-Fi :)

I'm glad you have wifi but this doesn't sound like fun. Hope you have food, drink, clothes and toilet access.

Thanks! It wasn't actually as bad as I'd feared... Not long after I'd posted, the queue started to shuffle into action.

Phew! Did you find out what had caused the jam? I hope nobody had been hurt.

A crash, sadly. Couldn't really make sense of what was going on, as I was concentrating on driving past and not being one of those annoying people who slow everything down further by gawping! Seemed to involve an artic pointing the wrong way and a lot of brickdust.

Aha. One vehicle, no injuries.http://www.hinckleytimes.net/news/local-news/crash-closes-m1-sliproad-10372400 (http://www.hinckleytimes.net/news/local-news/crash-closes-m1-sliproad-10372400)

Those dongle things are bloody handy! I've been using one at my mothers house for the past 2 months.
