OT Best way to cross London by van

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I once had accommodation arranged for me in East Dulwich which is a shithole. I would have been better sleeping in the van.

The person arranging it obviously understood you well.

Hopefully you got there OK. I'm assuming you normally live somewhere sane.

The best way is: Drive to Felixstowe take ferry to Zerbrugge. Drive to Calais take ferry to Dover. Drive up to London from it's soft underbelly.

This avoids: Midlands Counties south of Yorkshire (here be dragons), The M1, The London Orbital Parking Zone (M25), The Congestion Charge Zone, and most of Borisville itself. You also get to drink duty free TWICE. Ok it takes three days, no route is perfect.

A piece of piss. 2 hours 45 there (leaving at 3.30am) and 3 hour 20 minutes back (leaving at 7.00pm)

As Dave Ploughman pointed out, even London is quiet at 5.45am.

I really enjoyed the drive through London this evening. The traffic was flowing and I belive I managed quite well. Only once did I have to quickly cross lanes to keep on the right road (At the Park Lane Edgeware Road junction). I did it by indicating and forcefully moving it. The drive knew I was not trying to cut him up to save time at just let me in as I did to other drivers.

The moped drivers will L plates seem to have a death wish. I was going to help them but I needed to get home not locked up.

A bit of a hint in the word rewire I see:-)

Who said I was working for a Londoner?

I am pleased to hear it. genuinely.

Also there used to be a pub with strippers in it in Vauxhall which I would stay away from if I were there again.

Pubs with strippers are best avoided regardless of where they are. ;-)

Oh, I quite like the Seven Stars in Brick Lane.

I bow to your superior knowledge. Last one I was in was next to TV theatre in Shepherds Bush, called appropriately The Bush. The memory still lingers, even after therapy.

That would be in the 1970s then?

Likely - I left the BBC in '76. And had no wish to revisit Shepherds Bush afterwards. ;-)

Three of my uncles worked for the BBC - one in Scotland, one in Wales, and one in England. The one in England was a film editor.
