Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22050 posts	What's the point of these? I drove through the Dartford Tunnel late the other night and noticed there is a minimum speed of 10mph. If there was a traffic jam you'd be unable to comply with this. If there was free flowing traffic who would choose to drive at slower than 10mph? If I was caught doing 9mph what could happen? Fine? Points on licence? Get sent on a course to learn about the importance of going fast enough? Struggling to see the purpose, especially in this example. Also, don't you think that buying ice creams is an awkward business? Unless they have those slots to put them in, they hand you the ice cream and then you have to pay with one hand and, if applicable, receive and deal with your change with one hand. When buying multiple ice creams, things can be even more of a juggling act. I can't fully enjoy my ice cream with my change just shoved in my pocket. I like it to be zipped safely away within my wallet (must be an OCD thing). Thanks for reading. Yes I know, this sort of stuff is ruining Sugden.

The wording would be appropriate too, loarl.

'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235 555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq	Wayne what of your opinion on the two Thames foot tunnels?

The tide is high so they activate the barrier, but then that happens to the water from the river? the barrier is now a dam and the river is now a reservoir. Also supposing this didn't happen, what about the areas that are on the tidal side of the barrier?
