    The OP has edited the OP it did say 2 which is why people wanted him to get on a bike.
    Or particularly the timing of them? looked on my local Council site, but no mention of Highways or similar.

    The timing on the traffic lights between my house and my work (2 miles) has been changed a week ago and has now turned my commute from 6 mins to up to 40mins because the traffic lights now only let 3/4 cars through from each direction! When the three industrial estates that I work on/near kick out it's utter chaos heading back into town and to the housing areas. I can't now go home for lunch (as I have done for 8 months) as by the time I get home (just the other side of the traffic lights) it's time to come back!

    Just want to call/email someone to a) alert them to the problems and b) find out why they did it!

    Thanks MX5huggy. I missed that but can now see the OP edited the post at 3:27PM. - before I read & posted, but after most others had replied. Your explanation now makes me better understand the prior responses :)

    You know, there often comes a time when someone should put the shovel down...I suspect that time has arrived for the OP :D

    I think they are more used to the soft a squidgy world of the "Slimming World Support thread"
