    no, but from my working

    southend to lakeside = 30mins + 10mins stop
    lakeside to meet rob = 45-60mins (cos of road works on the m25 and m1) + 10mins stop

    which leaves us a good 40mins to get to you and for any other delays

    see i do have a brain (only seems to work every now and then tho)

    at that time of the morning the road works wont be a problem.

    tbh, i wouldn't bother meeting up with rob at Toddington services anyway.

    shoot up the m11 and cut across to pod. much easier and quicker.

    i knew that, 40mph for a few miles isn't going to slow you down that much. they aint gt's you know

    and i did suggest the M11 as a better route

    At 6 in the morning the M25 is very busy. I know as most Thursdays when i finsish work at 5:15 and leave Stansted airport to come home, im always stuck on the average speed sections doing 20, maybe less. Its busier than people think
