I was one of the tonnes of people who got stuck on the A1 because of the traffic census.
Whoever thought of such a crazy time to carry it out?? I am almost six months pregnant and had to sit in traffic needing the toilet for so long, I was in agony by the time I managed to park and hobble into work.
My journey normally only takes 20 minutes but today it took me two hours.
Not only did I have to endure having my baby jump around on my full bladder for two hours, but the traffic congestion also meant that I missed out on almost two hours of work and will now have to work longer hours for the rest of the week to regain the time.
I really hope this isn't going to happen again and I really feel for anyone who was in a similar position to me - it was ridiculous and whoever arranged it should be embarrassed and ashamed.
