Radio 2, Ken Bruce and Popmaster is carrying on uninterrupted. The answer to one of the questions today was "Motorhead - Ace of Spades" and the tune played after was the (somewhat inappropriate) "Don't fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult but only the single version without the guitar solo.

That isn't the only link

For what?

All good in the hood.


You're right it would be great if in the aftermath of this shite more people said 'stuff this and all the time I'm wasting, sat behind this wheel'.

In fairness I doubt any cars ever have done, on that road.
They've probably just sat there for hours on end, engines idling, while thousands of pedestrians were all 2 inches apart.
