M1 Motorway - 50 years old

Discuss your wife's objections to the fifth dish going up or your concern that there's far too little violence on the box these days. You can also introduce yourself here or just chat about anything. Remember, no keys or files allowed.

M1 Motorway - 50 years old

Yes, the M1 is now 50 years old and some parts of the roadway feel it! (Cheap shot!)

Last Monday there was a celebration at the Watford Gap service area when a new musical was performed to celebrate.

_http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8337432.stm

I happened to be travelling back up through the country at the time and called in. I was able to buy a cup of tea at 1s 3d - or 6p as it now translates to - and, for a donation to the Children in Need bucket, eat a slice of the birthday cake.

The place was choc-a-block with people and there were three OB units reporting for ITV News. I wish I could have stayed for the premiere but I had to move on. I took a few photos as well, though. Just before we left my wife managed to blag one of the special T-shirts they'd had printed. I didn't know where to hide my embarassment!

As I get older I find myself thinking about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
