    Hi Lena, well done for getting out of Birmingham, that couldn’t have been easy especially when you had to do that tight left turn at those lights to come back round to the roundabout again. You really are an amazing driver and always manage to keep your cool. I had to laugh though when you started to take your break and the air released out of your seat, I wondered where you were going lol 😂. Keep up the excellent work, you do a great job. Paul ❤️😊

Edinburgh has had road closures for years now while the trams tracks are laid and it's different every time you go through! A right royal pain in the rear end!

    Coming out of Birmingham from the Ring Road, you can go a number of ways. You could have gone via the Aston Express Way (A38M) and picked up the road off the Island there, or gone the the way you went through Aston. Isn't a lot in it really. Or even the junction before on the ring road and go via Costco. Lots of choice.

      Plus I'm betting the tv production team follow her on here and read all the comments etc so they will realise that she's not a gullible person 😉
