Well! Today's 5th gear wonder was all the way from the start of the 50 limit at the edge of Walsden to the Smithy Bridge turn-off - ie right through Summit and Littleborough without changing down. OK it helps that my car is happy to do 25 in 5th if you don't want much in the way of acceleration, but it's not bad going.
When L was off on maternity leave, I used to reckon if I reached the Howarth Cross roundabout before Our Tel came on, I wouldn't be late for work. I was past Oldham before Johnny started today, that's, like, about 8 miles further down the road. Of course with the drop off at nursery, I was still only 5 minutes early for work. But it's the first time I haven't been a bit late for, um, many months.
