Re: Please Explain
The only problem I have noticed is that sometimes the new posts page won’t load at about 6am. I presume the server is brushing its teeth and hanging up its dressing gown in preparation for another busy day. It usually loads five minutes later.

Re: "High risk" roads
I have only ever driven the C&F to see what it is like. It has never featured on any route as the logical way to go. I was only there because of its reputation. That said , the last time I drove it on a Sunday afternoon in July, I had the road almost to myself going west to east. With the curren...
