• Stuck in traffic spitting distance from home. Lots and lots of emergency vehicles roaring past. #
• 5 car pile up. 3 fire engines, 2 tow trucks. 4/5 asst ambulance and paramedics. 2 lanes closed. 100s of people stuck. #
• After 40 minutes static in lane 1 with 2 and 3 empty, suddenly lots of traffic coming past. #
• 60 minutes stationery now. Turning off radio and headlights or I risk not being able to restart the engine. #
• Also turning off radio because #bbcr4 is now playing the same programmes I heard on outward journey on Friday. #
• Parents behind me keeping small child entertained in car. I guess she's never taken the wheel on the M1 before. #
• People quitting their cars to pee and smoke. Wondering about setting the trangia up on the hard shoulder. #
• Must keep sense of perspective:Delay like this must mean fatalities and evidence collection. I'm inconvenienced, not dead. #
• Celebrated 90 mins "im Stau" by turning radio back on. Jam now stretches all the way back to Jct 23. I'm less than a mile from j25. #
• Ooh. Some signs of movement ahead. #
• Home safe. Praise be! 8 hours from Shell Island to Nottingham is a personal worst. #
• http://twitpic.com/howxr – Eek! Spare key just broke off in the lock on front door. Judicious use of pliers saved the day thobut. #
• @markpack you and @artesea (and @helenduffett, @stephentall, @alixmortimer) will be getting an envelope along with the pecuniary donors! #
