“"City traffic at standstill after idiots close off roads into Bristol, (and then shut off Hotwells Road outbound, so you can't turn around and go home), cut Frogmore Street in half with roadworks, thereby forcing everybody up Jacobs Wells Road, for the Bristol 10K race, when the runners could easily have ran alongside the docks".
'Oooh, it's all for charideeee'.
Yeah, well, I hope the person that was waiting for the ambulance I saw marooned in the mayhem understood that.”
