For some reason the M40 has a big hole in it norhtbound so I am not able to use my new normal route (cut up through Uxbridge and power up the M40), instead I have to use the M4, then cut up though Maidenhead. Not a problem you may think, but everyone else is doing the same.
Over the past week what should have been around 5 hours commuting home from the office has totaled almost 9 hours and I have not even thought what it is going to be like tonight, but then Friday is normally a good night with people leaving early to start the weekend.
