I was also late today Richard, thanks to a hold up on the single-carriage A16. We really need some dual carriageway on that road, which carries a huge amount of truck traffic from and to the Humber ports. Now that wind turbine production is ramping up, and many (European and British) companies are working along the Humber, the traffic is really heavy. Today it was a huge Wide Load, a massive Holiday Home from the Willerby manufacturers in East Yorkshire, almost falling off the truck. A huge recovery truck and team had to be sent for. Fortunately I know the area well by now and found a roundabout route which took me back onto the A16 further North and past the obstruction.
After the hospital, wife and I had to go to take the car into a Motability repair workshop (Nationwide Repairs) in Grimsby, just off the A180. Last night I took my grandson home from work and reversed into my son’s trailer hook, damaging the N/S rear light lenses. Son had left the trailer with the hook and hitch upright, whereas it is usually down. It is a very dark layby, all the streetlights are switched off to save money and the hook was covered with a metal plate, itself covered by a black plastic cover. Dear son is absolutely gutted, but I could not chastise him, he does so much for us.
Then we went Christmas shopping back in Grimsby. GRRRRR!!! Do I not like that!
All the best to you and family.
