00:00In Newport in particular, yeah, because there's been tailback from the Brinkglass Tunnel.
00:05But then again, I suppose that is the commuter belt down to West Wales, isn't it?
00:09So people go on holidays, so I'd imagine, yeah, start the school holidays, commuter
00:12belt down there.
00:13But not so much central, but I think you get, you know, particularly the M4, it's got a
00:18bit of a tailback.
00:19But it stops all the traffic in the daytime, don't it?
00:23Right?
00:24Stops all the traffic, right?
00:25So why didn't they do it at night time when there's less traffic in there?
00:28Because, right, the people want to go to work then the next day, whatever, blah, blah,
00:31blah.
00:32You see?
00:33Simple, isn't it?
00:34Simple.
00:35Yeah.
00:36I know I've seen that.
00:37Thank God I don't drive anymore.
00:38Now I'm 18.
00:39It went up so much, my insurance.
00:40I didn't bother.
00:41I'm glad.
00:42Because it's everywhere, isn't it?
00:43The roadworks.
00:44Dreadful.
00:45I know.
00:46I've noticed a lot of building everywhere, which is good to see, but there are definitely
00:52a lot of roadworks lately, which is also good to see, because it's about time they did some
00:56work on the roads.
00:57The roads are terrible.
