You know that bit just up the road where the traffic gets a bit snarly? You know, just by the little one-way system? Yeah. It’s a bit of a pain in the mornings, isn’t it? Still. Not the biggest problem in the world, now is it? The trouble is, there’s a little snarly bit like that happening right now in Leighton Buzzard. And Alfreton. And Skipton. And Waltham Cross. And Snodland. And Melksham, Kidwelly, Lymington, Grantown-On-Spey… Hundreds and thousands of little snarly bits of trafic all over Britain with their requisite litany of cars ticking over. And little snarly one-way systems in Tongshang, Kalininsk, Tingo Maria, and Big Bone Lick, Kentucky (look it up if you don’t believe me). All of them, quietly belching out fumes as their cars idle in that little snarly bit of traffic. In hundreds, thousands, millions of little towns. And then cities. Gridlocked cities, with their huge orbital highways…
But let’s go back to that little snarly bit at the end of your road. Let’s put a balloon on the end of every exhaust pipe, and see how long it takes to fill.
