Not a bad Easter weekend in my taxi, however if the weather had been better then business may have been better. Now the caravan parks are open at least the weekends are busier on the whole.

Was up at 3.30 this morning, took a lady to Manchester Airport, she was off to Singapore to see her son. She was very chatty for so early in the morning but at least she kept me awake!! Then a couple of hours after getting back I was off to York station. Not too bad traffic wise as I don't think people had started setting off home, however York was packed with traffic!! Was thinking about stopping to do some retail therapy but the car parks looked full and I didn't feel like walking too far.

Read an article in a newspaper today talking about how distracting roadsigns can be particularly when there are a few together. Some of them are really annoying especially when they ask you to slow down because of an 'incident' and then 5 miles on you are still looking for the incident!!

Then there is the one that appears all of a sudden that says 'FOG', regardless of the fact that you have been travelling along at 30miles an hour for the last half hour not able to see more than a few yards ahead of you. The most common one today was 'Slow down spray', surely common sense will tell you that if it is raining there will be spray!!!

Also I think it might be a good idea if they told you where the motorway is closed, eg near Nottingham, instead of junction whatever. I find it difficult to remember whereabouts each junction is, or is that just me???
