Grockles!
It's long been a tradition here in Blakeney, Nth Norfolk; for migrating Londoners to ignore local high tide warnings & abandon their expensive 4x4's, whilst they go off on long walks, in the countryside... Lol

It all went wrong for us locals when they finished the A11 dualling at Elveden and the drawbridge was some how missed out from construction. If they had done as we wanted, the drawbridge could have prevented these people getting anywhere near us. All that is left is to stand on the quay at Blakeney laughing Rolling with laughter

We have got Bat Bridges on this part of the A11. It seems, the bats don't use them. They are so successful, we are having to have them fitted on the Northern distributor road around Norwich. Most assume that the bats won't use them on this road either............. Banging Head Banging Head

Normal for Norfolk Thumbs Up

There's one in a village round here that says something like "slow yew down buh" which gives me a good chuckle.

Just be thankful you're not trying to take a combine through Wells which we'll be doing in a week or so. That's an interesting job - tourists seem to like ignoring a Defender with lots of flashy lights and a wide load warning sign on parked in the middle of the road.
