Another long commute todayfor a meeting and a day of “hot desking” plus 20 minutes in a traffic jam in central Dunstable. For once being in a traffic jam was actually quite interesting as Dunstable makes an effort to tell passers by about itself, but then A roads tend to be more interesting commutes than motorways.
At the first hold up, glancing to my left there was a blue plaque telling me that Gary Cooper lived in a terrace house on the A5 whilst attending Dunstable Grammar school. At the next set of traffic lights there was another tablet telling me about the Eleanor Crosses.
I wish all towns made more of an effort to entertain people stuck in traffic jams…
No food related talk today – likely to be home late as have to go back across country, in the dark, in what will probably be by then bad weather and through Milton Keynes which is likely to be packed with Christmas shoppers.
“Citadel of the Elite” – sorry, nothing to do with Dunstable, its just a phrase that someone on the radio uttered as I was leaving Dunstable – it was his discription of the hotels targeted in the Mumbai attacks this weekend…I found it a bit of an odd phrase so it stuck in my head.
