M5 closures Wed 25th.

[marmite]

Just be aware the M5 will be closed both ways this week between jcn 21 and 19 from 10pm to 6am. Diversions are on the A4, A370, and A369 via the Cumberland basin complex. May get a bit hectic after the match Wed around this area. 

Some congestion charges are being lifted on the advised diversion route. Best check if it affects anyone you know.

It isn't that many.

98% of the population are Internet users, this increased by 300k over the last recorded year.

Of the 2% who don't use the Internet, an even smaller subset of them would drive, and an EVER SMALLER AGAIN subset would be Bristol City fans.

As for the number of that subset who do drive, don't use the Internet and happen to be Bristol City fans impacted by a road closure... 

Well, those stats aren't available. 

Anyone hazard a guess?

And, ironically, that subset won’t have seen this thread and still won’t know.

EXACTLY.

And even if someone told them about it, you have to wonder if they would be able to drive in the first place, unless the amish are planning an evening if BS3 hospitality, I will be surprised if many people are impacted.

Probably totally inappropriate, but....

A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.

The boy asked, “What is this Father?” The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, “Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is.”

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed, and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number, and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.

Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blond stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son… “Go get your Mother.”
