Not as far as for me...

It's to warn you that you have the misery of Bank Holiday traffic ahead. Happy Easter!

I shall be avoiding all crowds by hiking up a Highland mountain in the (checks view out of window) brilliant sunshine.

You don't trust what's in your newspaper?!? That's ridiculous - Britain has the best journalists money can buy...
