Hounslow

Went for a pleasant business meeting in Hounslow today. It would have been a pleasant drive too, were it not for the 10 mile queue to join the M25 from the M3. There had been an accident - three HGVs decided to drive into each other just before the exit. It took me over an hour to do this section of the journey. As usual the traffic bulletin on the radio was wrong - they said the accident had been cleared, so I contined on my way. If they had said the accident had been cleared but there was 10 miles of standing traffic waiting to go by it then I could have taken another route and missed it.
