The Anonymous Widower

Traffic Chaos at the Angel

I said on Saturday that I got very wet in the chaos at Highbury Corner due to road works disrupting the buses.

Today I went shopping at Waitrose at the Angel and getting there on a 38 bus from my previous call in Clerkenwell, I was held up by traffic jams caused by the extensive road works all over the area.

Afterwards, as I’d got a lot to bring home, I decided to take a taxi. the lady driver had to go all through the backstreets to get me home.  Someone had told her, that Islington still has money to spend from the 2010-11 budget and are doing as much work as is possible before the deadline.

I certainly will be avoiding the Angel for the next week or so, unless I can do it on foot or by the Underground.

It’s funny, but in all my years, I’ve never hailed a black cab driven by a lady.

If this is true, it sounds like their project management skills are in line with the Cambridge Busway and the Edinburgh Tram.
