His family was found showing the destination "Special" in the Lands Leawarran today. The fare quoted was just $6 for a group of 12 travelling together!

In 1991 the London Times announced that the Department of Transport had finalized a plan to ease congestion on the M25, the circular highway surrounding London. The capacity of the road would be doubled by making the traffic on both carriageways travel in the same direction. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays the traffic would travel clockwise; while on Tuesdays and Thursdays it would travel anti-clockwise. The plan would not operate on weekends.

It was said that the scheme was almost certain to meet with the cabinet's approval, despite voices of protest coming from some quarters. One of the protestors included a spokesman for Labour Transport who reportedly warned that "Many drivers already have trouble telling their left from their right." Also, a resident of Swanley, Kent was quoted as saying, "Villagers use the motorway to make shopping trips to Orpington. On some days this will be a journey of two miles, and on others a journey of 117 miles. The scheme is lunatic."

Thankfully, the scheme existed only in the minds of the writers at the Times.

Sounds like Sweden changing from driving on the left side of the road to the right, to conform with the rest of Europe. On the Saturday, cars changed from one side to the other, and on Sunday the lorries did it too... Razz
