What a clever idea this is eh, hold a major sporting event in london's east end, shut 2 out of 3 of the main a13 then only put signs near where the road closure is and then close other roads around london and bring the capital to a standstill! brilliant eh??? Londons road networks struggle at best of times so god only knows who had this brilliant idea.  As a result, my usual trip from southend to home, that usually takes bout hour and a half, took near on four!
