Afternoon all,
Same here as GFD, had my first haircut of 2021 at 10:30 am today!
Clive, suggested yesterday we go to 'The Barge Inn' at Battlesbridge, Wickford, for lunch today as the weather forecast was good for outside eating, he picked me up as I'm on the way in his nice 4Litre Supercharged Jaguar and we joined the A127 to go to Battlesbridge which is only 25 min down the road!
We had just got to the Rayleigh Wier underpass on the A127 when everything stopped suddenly at 11:45? nothing moved at all and after 20 min people were getting out of their cars and walking around bemused.
One couple even let their dog out of the car on a lead to go to the toilet?
We were trapped, can't go forward, can't go backward!
Googling brought up some traffic news of a road accident,
'A127 Southend Arterial Road London bound blocked! queueing traffic for three miles due to overturned recovery vehicle between A129 Rayleigh Wier and A1245 Fairglen Interchange'
'Congestion back to Progress Road and delays on the opposite side due to onlookers and the A129 as traffic tries to find an alternative route'
We had been stationary for 45 min and the thought of that cup of coffee I had earlier on was now starting to play on my mind!
A recovery truck could be one of those big ones that tow away broken-down busses, they are massive and if one of those has turned over we could be here for hours?
The outside table reservation was for 1 pm, we tried to ring the pub to say we might be late, or even not make it at all.
I tried to ring Mick who was to join us for lunch at The Barge Inn as he would come from the other direction from Brentwood way.
As usual, Mick had his phone switched off to save the battery!
Luckily after an hour, we started to move and got to the lunch venue, Mick was unaware and sipping his pint laid back in the sun!
The food was delicious and so glad that we did make it, it was touch and go for a while.
I noticed this post from carlito22 earlier, I think we should congratulate him on his shareholding :-)
