oldbloke's mutterings

Well, that's a first.
Normal route: Manc, skirt Oldham at Royton, skirt Rochdale at Milnrow, Littleborough, home.
Today: Instead of Milnrow, where the sliproad roundabout is, like, totally dead, let's go via Ripponden! It was damn quick, considerign how many extra miles it is!
If I hadn't waited so long in the queue failing to get to Milnrow, it would probably have been as quick as the normal route is when traffic is average.
Weird.
